Ferrara was a haven for the arts during the Renaissance and much of this is still evident today. The powerful Este family held court in the multi-turreted Estense Castle, protected by a moat and drawbridge, and they were illustrious patrons of artists and authors.
Bellini, Piero della Francesca and Titian all perfected their strokes here, and the university houses parts of Ludovico Ariosto’s original manuscript of his epic poem – Orlando Furioso – containing allegorical references to his sponsors. The family is also depicted in Palazzo Schifanoia’s detailed fresoces, and the Palazzo dei Diamanti gallery displays works commissioned from the School of Ferrara.
Some Este tombs are in Corpus Domini Monastery and another is in the ornate cathedral whose three-gabled façade overlooks the crenellated town hall. Both line Piazza di Trento e Trieste, the main square where locals come to socialise. Another popular square is green Piazza Ariostea.
The Este strengthened their position through marriage alliances with the influential Borgia, Medici and Gonzaga families, but they didn’t have it all their own way. Ferrara’s well-preserved city walls were built for defence, and ardent opponent of the Renaissance, Savonarola, was born in this UNESCO World Heritage city.
Surrounding cobbled streets house many luxury Ferrara hotels, cheap apartments and B&Bs near the train station, available on Booking.com.

A compact walkable city filled with Renaissance buildings and unique cuisine from the Renaissance. Locals were proud of their city -- passionately proud. The bus drivers were helpful, and the locals were helpful and friendly.

An old walled town with an amazing Castle and a great art gallery (on a par with Bologna). A day trip to Comacchio and Ravenna is about 200km and well worth taking the time to see the Po Estuary and the Ravenna mosaics. I hired a car from Morini for Euro 45 and 15 for fuel. Hire a bike and view the palaces and museums as well as ride around the outside of the town walls.

We spent 2 days and nights in Ferrara and it was a rewarding visit. If you are going to stay in Ferrara, we highly recommend Triquetra - rooms for rent for location, value, cleanliness, comfort, the "coffee room" and especially the host Antonino. The town has numerous sites & museums which are almost all included in the MyFerrara pass which, for 22 euro a person for 3 days and 2 nights, also covers your city tax of 1.5 euro p.p. a day (after a little paperwork at the B&B). The medieval streets of the old town are interesting to wander in - they have a very 'real' feel. Sightseeing highlights are climbing the Lions Tower in the Castle, the Palazzo Schifanoia, Casa Romei and the Archaeological Museum. Also the small Cathedral museum for it's collection of scribed and illuminated texts. Unfortunately the cathedral is under heavy renovation at the moment so it's difficult to see much. For dinner, you must try Osteria I Quattro Angeli on the square behind the castle - get the lamb chops (if you eat lamb chops)...amazing. Also, very nice service staff.

While definitely secondary to to the larger cities of Bologna and Verona (the two main cities on my itinerary), Ferrara is also worth visiting for a day or so. (I can't compare it to Parma or other similar-sized cities in the vicinity unfortunately.)
It has an attractive historical centre that's nice to walk around. The main attraction is the castle, which is a museum, but there are other worthwhile museums in the city. Particularly Palazzo Schifanoia, with its impressive frescos. And the long alleys of the old Jewish quarter were interesting.
I wasn't planning a stay in Ferrara, but I was towed to the town after my car broke down. This was the closest hotel to where I was left by the tow truck, so booked in.
The staff were amazing. Really helpful and way more help than my insurance company!
The room was comfortable and the breakfast great.
I have a pretty low opinion of Italian hotels, but this one is really good, especially for the money.
This is a lovely, well-furnished apartment within walking distance of most Ferrara attractions. The kitchen is more than adequate, the beds comfortable and the apartment was full of light from both windows and sky lights. The hosts made helpful recommendations about where to eat and what to see. They offered to book a taxi for us. We would easily choose to stay here again.
This is a nice hotel at a good location, with very friendly staff. It is possible to park right at the hotel entrance for a short time while checking in and out.
Our room was quite large and quiet, facing the courtyard.
During our two-week stay in Italy, breakfast here was far the most abundant and manifold with a very wide selection of food and drinks.
Extremely kind and friendly guesthouse owner. Property is modern, well-designed, and clean - absolutely superb in all aspects. Loved the fact that the property was on a quiet street, but also very close walking distance to center of Ferrara and the train station. Breakfast was also outstanding - delicious, and a great selection of food.
Style and design of the hotel was so great.
The had parking on the street, we were lucky to find a place just in front of the hotel, and that’s were our car remain parked over nigh tend day.
Great city to visit, the breakfast was so good but I would add some more options in croissant as many other hotels have allot more options.
Annunziata is really an extraordinary hotel! The rooms are very finely decorated. The hotel manager Zeno and his staff are extremely helpful to support holiday planning in Ferrara and around. Also Annunziata offers the best breakfast I ever enjoyed in Italian hotels.
Centrally located, spacious room (around 16-18 square metres) and big bathroom. Modern facilities, boutique cozy hotel with a nice patio. Janet and Leonardo were extremely welcoming and friendly. Special mention goes to the radio in the bathroom!
Lovely modern hotel near the heart of Ferrara. Rooms were large and bright. Breakfast was done well. And we appreciated the water station (3 Euro) to fill the water bottles. We were there for the comfort festival which was very close by.
The hotel complements in the rich history of Ferrara, the interior design reminisces a time long ago kept up to contemporary standards. The staff will gladly update you on local events that are happening close by.
The breakfast is good.
We had a nice big room. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great restaurant recommendations. Location was very good, 10 minutes walking from the city center and free parking in front of the hotel. We had a great time in Ferrara.
Damn good breakfast in the morning. Good hotel location for a trip through Italy - sleep, eat and continue the journey. The price is affordable and the rooms are big enough for four people.
The hotel is located right in the heart of Ferrara, the personnel is friendly and helpful. The breakfast had many varieties to choose and all were delicious.
