Learn more about Bologna

Beneath medieval towers that lean like tipsy professors, Bologna's terracotta skyline glows amber at sunset. The Piazza Maggiore buzzes with students from the world's oldest university, debating philosophy over plates of perfect tortellini. Climb the precarious wooden stairs of Torre Asinelli for views that explain why they call this 'La Rossa.' The city unfolds beneath 40 kilometers of porticoes – now UNESCO-listed – where locals have strolled protected from rain since the Middle Ages. In the Quadrilatero market, vendors offer mortadella with the reverence others reserve for fine art. Don't miss the unfinished façade of San Petronio Basilica or Neptune's fountain, where the sea god's proportions were strategically reduced to avoid offending papal sensibilities.

"The staff was great, really helpful, and friendly. They also helped us book a car to the airport. The hotel was clean and nice and we stayed at the Mets apartments down the road, which are pretty nice and were clean. The Air Conditioning isn't very strong but does work if you leave it on all day. The main thing is that the hotel and apartments are in a great location right next to all the shopping and very near some good restaurants so it's easy to walk everywhere. I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to others if they want to stay right in the city and walk to everything."

"This was a great base for a weekend break in Italy. I was a little worried after realising it wasn't in the city centre but we had a hire car so it wasn't an issue. We also got a taxi to Bologna and back on an evening, which was around €27 each way. There were also some lovely pizza restaurants that we visited in nearby Catenaso. The room was a decent size and we had a pool view. It was clean and housekeeping came in daily to make the beds and quick tidy. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety including vegan and GF. The pool was great, there was a charge for sunbeds but plenty of other seating that was free near to the bar if you don't want to pay. Staff were friendly. It was a nice hotel in a good location."
