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 to be better than in this medieval gem.

Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look 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 savor their food, so a meal can last for hours.

Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops are found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage sites. 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 of this red-roof 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, the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088, are home to the city’s best museums.

Bologna accommodations at Booking.com range from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

    I recently visited Bologna to see a friend who’s on Erasmus, and I absolutely fell in love with the city! It’s gorgeous, full of charm, and so enjoyable to walk around. One of the highlights for me was the sheer number of lovely cafes, bars, and restaurants scattered throughout the city. The food and wine were consistently excellent—every meal felt like a treat. On top of that, I found the people to be very welcoming and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Since I was traveling with friends, we made the most of the city’s vibrant nightlife. If going out is your thing, Bologna has a fantastic ambiance in the evenings. The streets are lively with people, but never in an unpleasant or rowdy way, and there’s a great selection of venues to choose from, all at very fair prices. During the day, I especially enjoyed sitting at outdoor terraces, soaking up the sun, and sipping on affordable and delicious wine—it was the perfect way to relax and take in the city’s atmosphere. Bologna truly has something for everyone, and I’d highly recommend it as a destination, whether you’re there for the food, the culture, or just to enjoy its wonderful vibe!

    Bologna is a wonderful city in central Italy.

    Bologna is a wonderful city in central Italy. Rich in history and art, it is pleasant to discover on foot as it is quite small. The centre is really characteristic and full of nice shops and restaurants. The best thing is definitely the food, which is full of fantastic and excellent dishes. The nearby towns (Parma,Modena,Forli ecc) are also easily accessible and highly recommended.

    The city is dirty, yet it has beautiful buildings. We didn't feel safe in the evenings, so we typically explored the city only until about 9 PM. It was an okay experience, but once is enough. If you have the time, I recommend visiting Rimini and San Marino from Bologna.

    Bologna is a unique historical city and walking under its endless colonnades itself is so delightful. We walked past the university libraries (that hold immense treasures from 1088 CE onwards), the main squares, fountain and being a Sunday, my wife enjoyed the church services at a couple of locations. Plus there is the cuisine an wine.

    Friendly helpful host (thank you Ares!), clean and comfortable apartment with all necessary amenities. Great location very close to the historic centre but also to the central station so very easy travel from/to the airport and everywhere else. Next door there is a car rental office that services a number of car rental companies. Would love to come back next time visiting Bologna.

    Very nice and clean apartment, much bigger space than staying at an hotel room. It had everything we wanted (living room, dining table, kitchen, WC etc.), plus the bedroom separately overlooking the sitting area, up in an attic. Extremely centrally located within the historic center of Bologna, walking distance for all main sightseeing monuments. Highly recommend it!

    Location was good, close to the train station (8min walk) and there’s a train directly to the airport that’s less than 10 mins. Apartment was spacious, clean and good value for money. It was about 15 mins walk to Bologna main square. There was a nice restaurant across from the hotel with good pizza and pasta.
