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.

    Bologna is a city that may not immediately draw you in with its aesthetic. It has a charm that you have to get to know, and gastronomically, it's still unbearable for me. It is small enough to walk anywhere close or within the walls, and has plenty of green space outside the walls to explore via car, bike, or bus. The food is yummy pretty much anywhere you go, with some places blowing your mind. All in all, worth a 3-day visit.

    It's a fascinating and beautiful city - at least in the old, central part of town where we stayed. Great ambiance, great art, great architecture, great ancient University. Walking around the old city is easy. The ancient market area was really fun. We enjoyed the dissection theater of the ancient University medical school.

    We have done a lot of travelling in Italy and when we decided to stay in one place for a month we choose Bologna. Plenty to do in the city, the food...oh the food and the location for doing day trips to Parma, Modena, Ravenna, Ferrara is so easy. Being a university town it has vibrant energy, highly recommended.

    Bologna is a complex city with a large historic center.

    Bologna is a complex city with a large historic center. We have been there 3 times. We did not enjoy the 1st 2 visits. Simply put, we didn't spend enough time wandering through town. It's best experienced by strolling thorough various neighborhoods. We walked through the Quadrilatero, University, Piazza Maggiore, and San Stefano. We liked Bologna's little Venice. Bologna is filled with restaurants, Trattorias, Osterias, bars and specialty shops. One recommendation: on the weekend, you must absolutely get reservations for the more popular restaurants or you aren't getting in.

    Less well know than Venice, Florence, etc, Bologna is a magical city, the food capital of Italy and with a well preserved historical centre. A frequent visitor to Bologna since 1998, the city never disappoints and I am always eagerly looking forward to next time. Favourite restaurant: Da Silvio (Via San Petronio Vecchio), favourite bar: Le Stanze (aka The Chapel Bar) plus usual suspects, great for breakfast: QC Corner close to Hotel San Donato.

    A lot of museums and historic places worth visiting plus very cheap entrance fees - 6-10 euro. The only disadvantage was that the public transport was on strike on September 22nd and commuting was very difficult.

    Wow amazing stay! Silvia was so friendly and helpful and the apartment was fantastic. I especially loved the plentiful breakfast options, including fruit, which is unusual in Italy! Good location - quiet residential area and it was very easy to walk into the centre of Bologna (about 15 mins) or to the train station (also about 15 mins).

    Fantastic large room with excellent facilities, clean and comfortable. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the central train station and very close to the heart of Bologna, lots of lovely cafes nearby. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. It was also lovely to have doors open onto a balcony!

    Rooms were really smart (and comfortable). Great shower. The roof terrace is great. Amazing view of Bologna! Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The hotel is a stroll away from the historic centre but we liked that as it’s in a peaceful area.
