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 wasn't in Bologna for long and really only had a chance of staying overnight. Though I did walk 5 km through the area south of Bologna Centrale. I was here in Jul/2024 and there were many restaurants where patrons were able to sit in the streets. Reminded me a lot of Barcelona and everywhere I walked, it felt safe. Loved the open air outdoor movies that was playing in the Piazza. Nostalgically reminded me of that scene in Cinema Paradiso. On a warm summer night, there's not much better than sitting on the steps of a cathedral watching a movie.

    We only visited Bologna in one day as a stopover on the way south. The city center is pleasant to visit even on hot days and easy to get around on foot. The bibliotheca on the main square is a freely accessible shelter from heat and is a beautiful place to take a short break.

    Whilst not as 'pretty' as other Italian towns/cities (we were in Tuscany before visiting Bologna), the architecture and general ambiance was typically Italian and as an university city, the general vibe was bright and bustling. That said, the portico's, for which Bologna is rightfully famed, were extensive and very beautiful and although we chose to use the tourist train, the 3.8km portico to the basilica San Luca was particularly good. Bologna also boasts the leaningest (if that's a word) of Italy's leaning towers - the Garisenda tower. Bologna's tour de force is its food - there were bars, cafes, gelateria's and restaurants everywhere and, in our experience, the food was spectacular - especially La Prosciutteria in Via Guglielmo Oberdan. If you're staying for a while and self-catering, you cannot beat the fresh produce in their markets. Plentiful choice, and in the case of the grocery market, huge and juicy fruits and vegetables. A perfect location for a quick city break or base for a tour of the region. We will definitely return

    It may not have the fame of Florence or Venice (each less than 2 hours away), but it has a unique atmosphere of its own, with UNESCO registered loggias, taller medieval towers than San Gimignano, and many Romanesque Gothic and Baroque buildings filled with art by the local Carracci family and even Giotto, Titian, Raphael etc. It is also an excellent 4-5 days base for daytrips to the mosaics of Ravenna, to Ferrara and San Marino, with many restaurants offering the rightfully famous Cucina Bolognese.

    We had to pick up our friends, arrived in airport Bologna, and then drive further down to Toskana. We already stayed in this hotel several years ago and found it very conveniently located fir our needs. Also we were very pleased by hospitality and comfort. Therefore this time we had no questions where to spend a night. Room was very comfortable and calm although hotel is situated between airport and highway. It is surrounded by trees and makes feeling your vacation has been started.

Breakfast in the garden was a lovely start to each day with plenty of selection. All the staff were knowledgeable, polite and friendly, going the extra mile to keep all guests happy even though it was a full hotel and peak season. Beds were comfy and shower was good.
