Area:

The apartment is located in the heart of the old medieval city, within a charming building in the city center. It is situated less than a five-minute walk from the iconic Asinelli and Garisenda towers; furthermore, it is just steps away from the city's main square, Piazza Maggiore, which is surrounded by the city's most important buildings. The oldest of these is Palazzo Podestà, dating back to the 13th century and topped by the Torre dell'Arengo.

Facing Palazzo dei Banchi stands Palazzo d'Accursio, a monumental architectural complex dating back to the 14th century that currently houses the Bologna City Hall. The final side of the square is graced by the Basilica of San Petronio, an example of Italian Gothic architecture; construction began in the late 14th century but was never completed. Palazzo Banchi marks the beginning of the city's most famous portico, the Pavaglione, which connects Piazza Maggiore to the Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio—the original home of the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the world. Today, the university is located less than a five-minute walk from the apartment on Via Zamboni; the Teatro Comunale, renowned for its packed schedule of operas, stands halfway along this same street.

Among the city's major landmarks surrounding the apartment, the most renowned are Piazza Santo Stefano—featuring the magnificent Seven Churches complex (built one atop another) and the splendid Corte Isolani—and the Pavaglione portico. The latter forms one side of the so-called Quadrilatero, the heart of Emilian food and wine culture; it is a maze of pedestrian streets where one can find all the region's delicacies (cured meats, fresh pasta, wine) as well as fresh local produce (meat, fish, vegetables). It is a true *Sancta Sanctorum* for food lovers.

Finally, shopping enthusiasts can indulge themselves along bustling Via Indipendenza, in the major designer stores of Galleria Cavour, or in the refined boutiques of Via Farini or Via d'Azeglio. We also wish to highlight the convenience of having a mini-market right beneath the apartment, as well as a gelato shop and numerous restaurants and bars dotted throughout the neighborhood.

Public transportation:

The location is highly strategic thanks to its proximity to Via dell'Indipendenza, with bus and tram connections to the trade fair grounds and the train station (about a 15-minute walk away).

Parking:

The apartment is located within the restricted traffic zone (ZTL) and an access ticket is requested. On public holidays, the city center's T-area becomes a pedestrian zone. Parking is available just outside the ZTL at Piazza VIII Agosto, a 10-minute walk from the apartment. A monthly pass is available for approximately €250 per month, offering 24-hour access. The daily rate is €24 for 24 hours.

Information regarding traffic in Bologna's city center:

For stays of several months (3 months or longer), it is possible to apply for a permit to enter the historic center. For short-term guests, the Municipality allows car access to the center for only 3 days per month. Access is granted via a ticket (€ 6).

Pets:

Pets are allowed (€ 20+VAT per night, limited to the first 5 nights).
