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 kilometres 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.

Starhotels Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and staff were extremely friendly and helpful!"

Hotel Metropolitan

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Metropolitan Hotel in Bologna was excellent! Early check-in was happily accommodated, and the staff were very helpful in storing our luggage for our late flight departure. The rooftop terrace was fantastic and a perfect place to relax. Service was outstanding from check-in through breakfast and throughout our stay. A wonderful experience overall,"

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"Very good location, Very good breakfast.. Clean Classic Double bedroom with good bedroom and bathroom facilities and linen but bathroom problem (see further). Helpful and hardworking staff, particularly very efficient and friendly breakfast ladies, chamber maids and Reception staff. However: my bathroom (Room 101) smelled badly of bad drains. I was told it happened when it rained - though there had been no rain. I was given a spray to help but the smell returned every day. Also there was a terrible smell on the 1st floor which apparently was ongoing. So, the hotel needs to deal with what seems like embedded problems on the 1st floor. I don’t know if other floors or bedrooms have the same problems. Also hotel is run down in several areas with stained and very worn carpets on the stairs and in my bedroom, and dingy/gloomy staircase whose walls need to be painted. The owners need to spend some money on the hotel and not just rely on good staff and occupancy"
