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.

A compact walkable city filled with Renaissance buildings and unique cuisine from the Renaissance. Locals were proud of their city -- passionately proud. The bus drivers were helpful, and the locals were helpful and friendly.

An old walled town with an amazing Castle and a great art gallery (on a par with Bologna). A day trip to Comacchio and Ravenna is about 200km and well worth taking the time to see the Po Estuary and the Ravenna mosaics. I hired a car from Morini for Euro 45 and 15 for fuel. Hire a bike and view the palaces and museums as well as ride around the outside of the town walls.

We spent 2 days and nights in Ferrara and it was a rewarding visit. If you are going to stay in Ferrara, we highly recommend Triquetra - rooms for rent for location, value, cleanliness, comfort, the "coffee room" and especially the host Antonino. The town has numerous sites & museums which are almost all included in the MyFerrara pass which, for 22 euro a person for 3 days and 2 nights, also covers your city tax of 1.5 euro p.p. a day (after a little paperwork at the B&B). The medieval streets of the old town are interesting to wander in - they have a very 'real' feel. Sightseeing highlights are climbing the Lions Tower in the Castle, the Palazzo Schifanoia, Casa Romei and the Archaeological Museum. Also the small Cathedral museum for it's collection of scribed and illuminated texts. Unfortunately the cathedral is under heavy renovation at the moment so it's difficult to see much. For dinner, you must try Osteria I Quattro Angeli on the square behind the castle - get the lamb chops (if you eat lamb chops)...amazing. Also, very nice service staff.

While definitely secondary to to the larger cities of Bologna and Verona (the two main cities on my itinerary), Ferrara is also worth visiting for a day or so. (I can't compare it to Parma or other similar-sized cities in the vicinity unfortunately.)
It has an attractive historical centre that's nice to walk around. The main attraction is the castle, which is a museum, but there are other worthwhile museums in the city. Particularly Palazzo Schifanoia, with its impressive frescos. And the long alleys of the old Jewish quarter were interesting.
Low cost Ferrara sums it up. if all you need is a room to stay for a night or two, this is just the job. The building is unmanned and totally automated. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. There are 3 rooms on each floor and one bathroom on each floor that is shared by 3 rooms. It wasn’t so long ago that hotels in England were like that. Remember Fawlty Towers?
chinzia was a breath of fresh air. So helpful.
one of the few hotels to offer gluten free breakfast options.
Almost the only hotel in Italy not to have stupid auto tune computerized Muzak. Quiet, dignified music was so fitting for a small, beautiful hotel. Dinner was suggested in the town piazza at Osteria Savonarola. of course, it was very good.
Thank you Chinzia.
Absolutely everything was flawless.
The room, bathroom, and all areas were impeccably clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The hotel's proximity to the train station and its not-so-distant location from Ferrara center were extremely convenient. Furthermore, having a supermarket right across from the hotel was a huge plus.
Style and design of the hotel was so great.
The had parking on the street, we were lucky to find a place just in front of the hotel, and that’s were our car remain parked over nigh tend day.
Great city to visit, the breakfast was so good but I would add some more options in croissant as many other hotels have allot more options.
Great location to explore Ferrara, spotlessly clean and comfortable, warm friendly helpful staff who communicated and guided us brilliantly great hotel facilities would definitely book again if we ever get to go back to Ferrara which is a wonderful place and wish we had had more than one night there
The best place I have stayed in Italy! In the heart of Ferrara, perfectl for sightseeing, yet quiet and comfortable. Beautiful building of the casa Minerbi overlooking the old garden and have the remains of frescoes from the 14th century (I love it!!). I really hope I can come back here someday.
This is a great, little hotel and has a genuine family-run feeling. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the location perfect in a quiet spot on the very edge of the centre and the breakfast offered plenty of choice. I would happily return if in Ferrara again.
Best place You can get in Ferrara nearby. You have Your own flat, and owners are the most kind people I've met in Italy! Rooms are big, nice bathroom and fully functional kitchen. If You want to feel like you never left your lovely home that's the place!
Nice hotel for a short stay visiting Ferrara or just passing by (like it was our case). It's close to the highway exit, there are restaurants and supermarkets in the surroundings. Nice breakfast as well. Great value for money. Very friendly staff!
Wonderful interior of the hotel and garden inside. Great location, if you are focused on the old Town of Ferrara. Clean rooms and everything that you need inside. Tasty breakfast and kind staff. A big plus for a patio in the room.
We had a nice big room. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great restaurant recommendations. Location was very good, 10 minutes walking from the city center and free parking in front of the hotel. We had a great time in Ferrara.
Amazingly well located Bed & Breakfast in Ferrara. Our host Filippo was very attentive and communicative, he perfectly organized our check in and provided us with plenty of tips for enjoying our stay to the fullest.
Very nice location in the City. The hotel is very local and it feels like in Italy. The breakfast is very good. The addition to having a bicycle for exploring Ferrara is so great. Pleasant staff. Very clean!
Helpful staff, perfect location, lovely breakfast, in a renaissance palace converted into a modern hotel while maintaining its original structure and charm. The price was very reasonable. Parking.
