FAQs about hotels in Ferrara
A Renaissance Rival to Florence
Ferrara was a haven for the arts during the Renaissance and much of this is still evident today. The powerful Este family held court in the multi-turreted Estense Castle, protected by a moat and drawbridge, and they were illustrious patrons of artists and authors.
Bellini, Piero della Francesca and Titian all perfected their strokes here, and the university houses parts of Ludovico Ariosto’s original manuscript of his epic poem – Orlando Furioso – containing allegorical references to his sponsors. The family is also depicted in Palazzo Schifanoia’s detailed fresoces, and the Palazzo dei Diamanti gallery displays works commissioned from the School of Ferrara.
Some Este tombs are in Corpus Domini Monastery and another is in the ornate cathedral whose three-gabled façade overlooks the crenellated town hall. Both line Piazza di Trento e Trieste, the main square where locals come to socialise. Another popular square is green Piazza Ariostea.
The Este strengthened their position through marriage alliances with the influential Borgia, Medici and Gonzaga families, but they didn’t have it all their own way. Ferrara’s well-preserved city walls were built for defence, and ardent opponent of the Renaissance, Savonarola, was born in this UNESCO World Heritage city.
Surrounding cobbled streets house many luxury Ferrara hotels, cheap apartments and B&Bs near the train station, available on Booking.com.

The old centre is quite small and easy to navigate.
The old centre is quite small and easy to navigate. Most building are build in 14th century, with some later renovations/additions, and really beautiful with their brick walls. I really enjoyed my visit of Castello Estense (go up the Lion Tower for beautiful view of the city!) and Schifanoia Palace.Guest review byTaraSlovenia - 10.0
The castle was impressive and well worth the entrance fee.
The castle was impressive and well worth the entrance fee. We should have remembered the idiosyncratic opening hours of historic sites/churches and would have done more. But we will return- plenty more to see. A charming local told us about the oldest bar in Italy and then returned to mention the location of the grave of Lucretzia Borja.Guest review byChristineUnited Kingdom - 10.0

We visited all museums and the castle of the city that you can not really skip. We also visited Ravenna (amazing city too) and another beautiful city Padova. All by train easy accessible . I strongly recommend to taste someone Capellazzi di zucca (pumpkin hats). We ate tasty food al Brindisi (one of the oldest taverns in the world! We get there accidentally! Also at La Racchetta very good option for food. For coffee and pastries at Chocolat! For ice cream at Gelateria Romana. I believe what ever your choice will be for food, wine, ice cream, aperol, coffee and more Ferrara will not disappoint youGuest review byMARIA KOLTSIDAGreece - 10.0
Me and my family (wife and daughter of 12) visited Ferrara...
Me and my family (wife and daughter of 12) visited Ferrara as a stopover on our journey from Slovakia to Italy's west coast during our summer vacation. On the way back we visited the Bologna, so I can compare both cities already. Ferrara is like a hidden gem, especially with the Bologna nearby it is in Bologna's shade, but Ferrara offers something that other cities don't - that is the size and the possibility to ride a bike almost everywhere without being afraid of cars (there were some, but not that many as in the Bologna). Therefore renting a bike is highly recommended. It's also less touristy than Bologna and more calm. We had only 1 full day and something more for Ferrara and it was quite enough, however it's so cute with all it's streets and corners and little trattorias that I would love to come back again and explore more. The restaurants/trattorias were not so expensive and the food was mostly delicious, also many cafes and my favorite gelato's as well. Next time, or in the colder months I can imagine to visit also some museums/castles from inside as well. Ferrara impressed us a lot and next time would prefer to stay in Ferrara rather than in Bologna, because it truly deserves it.Guest review byJurajSlovakia - 10.0
Lots of things to see if you like arts and history.
Lots of things to see if you like arts and history. Great local food and great restaurants choice. Perfect place also to visit other cities in the surroundings (an hour by car) like Padua, Ravenna and the Po delta.Guest review byEnrico_C.Switzerland - 10.0
Ferrara is wonderful.
Ferrara is wonderful. It has some amazing art but has few tourists and remains a vibrant university town. Everyone goes around the centre on bicycles. The food is amazing and the ice cream out of this world. I recommend investing in a city card if you are staying a few days. I got a three day card for 22 euros. The castle cost 12 euros and I got 6 euros back for my city tax so just one more museum visit meant I had made a good decision. I went to the castle, the Palazzo Schifanoia, the Museum of the Cathedral, the Pinacoteca in the Palazzo dei Diamanti and the Jewish Museum.Guest review byJuliaUnited Kingdom

- From US$123.86 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,447 reviewsThe location is an awesome spot to explore Ferrara. A short walk to the castle and restaurants and bars and next to the palazzo dei diamanti. I would also commend the hotel's communication, how easy check in and all the processes were, and Roberto was helpful (e.g helping is us turn on the big TV in the excellent common room!) To get breakfast included was great and the communal areas are very nice. It is an excellent budget friendly hotel, you very much get value. I would recommend.Guest review byJoeUnited Kingdom
- From US$129.76 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 817 reviewsLocated across from the train station the hotel is ideally located for a visit to the atmospheric town of Ferrara. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff work hard with smiles on their faces. Good value for money & a very homely feel. Those with a sweet tooth will love the breakfast which is more than plentiful to set you up for the day. Savoury items available too. I highly recommend Boutique Hotel ferrara.Guest review bySteveUnited Kingdom
