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.
We loved everything about the Hotel Orologico! It is quite quirky with an eclectic mix of 'artefacts'dotted about, creating a unique atmosphere, The staff were outstandingly helpful during our 4 day stay. The breakfast is generous and excellent. Bed super-comfortable . We used the downstairs garage which has limited space but we think worth requesting. You can borrow a bicycle, and Ferrara is very cycle-friendly. There is a useful supermarket almost next -door. Strongly recommended!
The location was perfect.near to the city centre, the sightseeings, the restaurants, the bars. The breakfast had a variety of choices and was everything delicious.The owners were very kind and helpful. They even prepared for me breakfast every day one hour earlier than hotel's fixed horario, because of my job's schedule restrictions.the room was spacious, clean and exactly as in Booking's photos.value for money.i will stay for sure at the same hotel, if i will be back in lovely Ferrara.
This was the best place I stayed in in Italy. The lady is very accommodating. She asked me what time I would like breakfast and was willing to accommodate my (perhaps early for Italians) requested time for breakfast, which was a great Italian breakfast. There is a shared external bathroom with one other room, but it has everything you need, looked very modern and clean. The room was quite comfy and the price fit the value. The location is directly in the center, near the castle.
We loved this beautiful hotel for its location in Ferrara. Off the beaten path and situated on a quiet road near a park and walking trails, this hidden gem allows visitors to relax in tranquility. The building looks like it was once a home now made into a boutique hotel restored in a way retains it's historic and elegant charm.
They have a very nice breakfast for their guests, parking and are very helpful. There is a wonderful restaurant just next store we ate at twice.
Loved this small unassuming hotel. It was on a quiet street but near the center and all attractions we wanted to visit. Staff were wonderful and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was very good - with ever-changing options (including an amazing pumpkin tart one day). We stayed in the Junior suite, which was larger than we expected. Access to exterior terrace was a definite plus.
Nice hotel for a short stay visiting Ferrara or just passing by. It's close to the highway exit, there are restaurants and supermarkets in the surroundings. It is a relatively modern clean hotel. The rooms are well decorated with all you need. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Free parking. Very friendly staff!
Great value for money.
Great location to explore Ferrara, spotlessly clean and comfortable, warm friendly helpful staff who communicated and guided us brilliantly great hotel facilities would definitely book again if we ever get to go back to Ferrara which is a wonderful place and wish we had had more than one night there
Very charming place, well located, in the center of Ferrara, with parking places in the street around the hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The bedroom was spacious. The breakfast was perfect. It should be even nicer during a sunny day, to enjoy the patio. I totally recommend the place.
The best place I have stayed in Italy! In the heart of Ferrara, perfectl for sightseeing, yet quiet and comfortable. Beautiful building of the casa Minerbi overlooking the old garden and have the remains of frescoes from the 14th century (I love it!!). I really hope I can come back here someday.
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.
Best place You can get in Ferrara nearby. You have Your own flat, and owners are the most kind people I've met in Italy! Rooms are big, nice bathroom and fully functional kitchen. If You want to feel like you never left your lovely home that's the place!
Spacious, and tasteful decor. Beautiful wood ceiling/floors and white walls. Close to everything a visitor would be interested in. Easy communication with the owner. It is the nicest place I have stayed in Italy.
This was the second time I stayed at this hotel for it is close to the Buskers festival and central to the historic area. I will stay again for a perfect place and the owner is a wonderful person.
The property was comfortable for our family of 6. It’s location is fantastic. The center of Ferrara is at your doorstep. We were able to walk to sites and lots of restaurants. Great place.
Parking in front of the hotel. Close to the highway, but quiet. Friendly staff. Room was nice, modern and well sized. Nice bathrooms. Good free Wi-Fi. Breakfast was nice.
