Hotels in Bologna

Why stay in Bologna?

Bologna is a deeply rewarding Italian city break, offering an easy local rhythm and fewer crowds than Rome or Florence. Start at Piazza Maggiore and the Basilica of San Petronio, climb the Asinelli Tower when open, and follow the arcades toward the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca. Israeli travelers come for tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini and Parmigiano Reggiano, then use the city as a base for Modena, Parma and the Ferrari museums. Shopping runs from Via dell'Indipendenza to elegant Galleria Cavour, while evenings come alive around the university quarter and Via del Pratello.
