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.
chinzia was a breath of fresh air. So helpful.
one of the few hotels to offer gluten free breakfast options.
Almost the only hotel in Italy not to have stupid auto tune computerized Muzak. Quiet, dignified music was so fitting for a small, beautiful hotel. Dinner was suggested in the town piazza at Osteria Savonarola. of course, it was very good.
Thank you Chinzia.
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.
The apartment has everything one may need for a weeklong stay. It has a full set of kitchen items, a washing machine, and many other amenities. The engineering campus of the University of Ferrara is at a walking distance of five minutes. The place is very safe. I had an excellent stay. Strongly recommend.
This hotel is a great value. It is located in the center of Ferrara and at walk distance to all the main monuments, restaurants and cafes of this beautiful town. The hotel has 3 parking options but it is important to reserve your spot especially in the summer. Our room was spacious and very clean.
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.
Nice hotel for a short stay visiting Ferrara or just passing by (like it was our case). It's close to the highway exit, there are restaurants and supermarkets in the surroundings. Nice breakfast as well. Great value for money. Very friendly staff!
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.
