Elegant central but quiet neighborhood; in a few steps you can walk on Piazza Maggiore, admire the 2 Towers, the ancient University, visit the city's churches and museums, sip an aperitif in the fascinating Piazza Santo Stefano and take advantage of the countless gastronomic offerings that the city offers. Luxury shopping in the nearby Galleria Cavour, commercial shopping in via Indipendenza and gastronomic shopping in the ancient and bustling "Quadrilatero" market. Very close supermarket for your daily shopping. For a panoramic, sporty walk to San Luca (even in the rain) just follow the route of the famous Portici of Bologna. The Rizzoli Hospital is only 1.4 km from the apartment (17' on foot). If you want to visit the neighboring cities (Florence, Modena, Rimini or even Venice and Milan) connections with fast trains from the central station (reachable on foot) are very frequent. Welcome to the heart of Bologna and its fascinating history! Please note that: Palazzo Spada is in the heart of the historical center (very convenient for sightseeing and enjoying the local night life), in a limited traffic area (=ZTL) therefore it is forbidden to arrive directly there with your car.
