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.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the social club. Great location, near the train station and old town. Facilities are really good, rooms are spacious and clean. Really nice cafe to have breakfast and coffee. There's a pool and a gym as well. We stayed in the one in Porto before and this one is just as good in quality, will stay again!"

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here the night before our cruise that left from Ravenna. It was so convenient right across from train station. We had connecting rooms that were very spacious, modern, clean and very quiet. We will stay here again! We also enjoyed a lovely meal with lots of restaurants together which was about a 10-15 min walk from hotel. 10/10"

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at this hotel. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms were a great size, clean and powerful shower. There’s also a brilliant rooftop with a jacuzzi. Location wise it is a bit further from the city centre, but my partner and I love walking so we were fine. It’s probably 30-40 min walk into the heart of Bologna however there is a bus that goes direct if you don’t want too. Had a lovely stay here!"

UNA Hotels Bologna Centro

UNA Hotels Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"We had a very enjoyable stay at UNA Hotels Bologna Centro. The location is excellent, directly opposite the train station and only around a 15-minute walk to Piazza Maggiore through Bologna's beautiful porticoes. The hotel has a modern feel throughout. While the décor is stylish, the public areas could benefit from a few more comfortable seating options. Our Superior room had everything we needed, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping it spotless. The breakfast was consistently good, with a quality selection, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The bar area, however, felt a little soulless, and it was often difficult to find a member of staff to order a drink. The air conditioning throughout the hotel was excellent and made a huge difference during Bologna's July heat. Overall, a comfortable, well-located hotel that we'd happily stay at again."
