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.
Hotel staff were great and very helpful. The location is central to all the sites in the old town and many restaurants. There is a small but wonderful rooftop patio set on top of a bridge between buildings, which offers a view of the main town square yet is set apart and quiet, lovely for breakfast and also for a late day cocktail. The room was larger than most you get in Italy in the same price range. The breakfast menu has great and fresh baked goods and the terrace is a great place to enjoy it.
This is a great apartment. Overlooking the old city walls, and a 5-10 minute walk to all the sights, restaurants, etc. It looked better than the photos, which isn’t always true! It was very comfortable and very quiet even with windows open. Special thanks to Daniela for helping us get settled and especially for arranging a taxi for our departure when we couldn’t navigate the voice mail system for booking a taxi on the weekend. We really enjoyed Ferrara and would happily stay here again.
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.
Great location with an easy walk to all sites. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel is like staying in a small palazza but with beautiful and tasteful decor and furnishings. Breakfast was outstanding with a wide range of fresh food. Loved the fresh honeycomb. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to park outside the hotel. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Ferrara.
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 great place to visit Ferrara as it is in the city centre. The hotel gave us good instructions to find the place easily. It is a very nice place with lots of history. We liked the comfort of the apartment. Breakfast in the garden was very pleasant. The hotel's parking was across the street in a garage that was easily accessible.
We were only offered breakfasts at Hotel Touring and we were not disappointed. The attending staff at breakfasts were most accomodating and attentive. The front lobby staff were very helpful in suggesting local attractions, including historical features and local dining establishments.
This is a great, little hotel and has a genuine family-run feeling. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the location perfect in a quiet spot on the very edge of the centre and the breakfast offered plenty of choice. I would happily return if in Ferrara again.
The staff was very accommodating for last minute booking! The best nights sleep we had in Italy, anywhere! The beds were extremely comfortable! The location was immersed right in the daily culture and vibe within the city. We enjoyed our time there.
Only for front office manager I would have left .
Breakfast was reasonable but the hotel was very busy and the poor man seemed to be trying to manage alone .
Ferrara is a lovely town and we had access to free push bikes for the weekend .
A small charming guest house hotel. Super friendly owner and staff. Prime location in a very under the radar city. Btw great AC too.
I am a born and raised New Yorker so I can be picky but this place checks all the boxes .
The staff is super friendly, highly recommended to anyone travelling to Ferrara by car. No mosquitos in the hotel even in the hottest summer night. Lovely outdoor space with good wifi signal, you can easily work from there
This hotel was very nice and worth the price. Very good breakfast, friendly hosts, clean room good equiped, private parking. We can recomend this hotel for stay in Ferrara.
