FAQs about hotels in Bologna

A Gourmet Delight

World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered better than in this medieval gem.

Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look out for ragú on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savour their food, so a meal can last for hours.

Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops can be found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage listed. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views over this red-roofed city.

The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square are the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088 and home to the city’s best museums.

Bologna accommodation on Booking.com ranges from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

    I love Bologna and this area of Italy.

    I love Bologna and this area of Italy. Beautiful City and great people. I had a bad experience with a cooking course company - Cesarine booked via Trip Advisor and Viator, who failed to deliver the course and left me out of pocket for their bad admin. Apparently the teacher had an inconvenience! But that shouldn't stop you going to Bologna, just be vary of them.

    The old city is magnificent, plenty of restaurants to suit all pockets. The people were friendly and accommodating. Rail and bus services were excellent. Plenty of shopping for those who like it but also plenty of sight seeing around the historic city. Something for everyone.

    Bologna, Italy, is a city that seamlessly weaves history,...

    Bologna, Italy, is a city that seamlessly weaves history, art, and culinary delights into its vibrant tapestry. Steeped in medieval charm, the city boasts historical landmarks that narrate tales of bygone eras. Its streets serve as an open-air gallery, adorned with art that breathes life into every corner. Bologna is also a gastronomic paradise, where the aroma of delectable pasta wafts through the air. However, challenges such as the refugee situation and concerns about theft detract from the overall experience. These issues, unfortunately, cast shadows on the city's cultural richness. It is my hope that Bologna can address these challenges while preserving the essence of its captivating heritage.

    An incredible city, with a blend between high end retail, cuisine from around the world, and the ancient architecture found within the city centre. All the city centre is easily walkable, and the bus services surround it to make getting to the train station very easy. The best restaurants and bars can be found where the locals eat - be careful of water or bread being offered to you, as this might not be free. Very often attractions will be closed for restoration works, but there's always places to see and visit. It's ideal for those who like to explore!

    Happily surprised, went on a work trip and happen to be there during the Antique Automobile fair, which brought a lot of people to the city. I've been around Italy quite a lot and Bologna got me since minute 1!. A fantastic array of shops and restaurants that are authentic and charming. Warm and inviting people, a very clean city, easy and safe to stroll and get lost in the medieval streets even after midnight!. I would never hesitate on going back, hopefully very soon.

    I have been lucky enough to have traveled in Italy quite a bit, but wasn’t prepared for how much I really liked bologna. It is a beautiful, medieval and yet modern welcoming city with wonderful walkways that accommodate large groups of people so you never feel crowded. The food is fantastic and it has wonderful and many fantastic, small and midsize restaurants that cater to your every wish. Besides the history, the background of all the marvelous places to visit right in front of you is a fantastic trip through Etruscans and Romans and French and Italians. The city is very lively and people constantly walk down the promenades even late at night as Restaurants really don’t close till after 11 PM. I learned and experienced so much about that part of Italy, and can’t wait to visit again. Additionally, I was so fascinated by the city itself and so I didn’t even get to Parma or Modena. Next time I will be sure to drive a Lamborghini or Ferrarri!!! Finally, I would tell everyone to get a local guide who can take you to places around the city and give you Stories that you won’t find in a guidebook
