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.
We loved everything about the Hotel Orologico! It is quite quirky with an eclectic mix of 'artefacts'dotted about, creating a unique atmosphere, The staff were outstandingly helpful during our 4 day stay. The breakfast is generous and excellent. Bed super-comfortable . We used the downstairs garage which has limited space but we think worth requesting. You can borrow a bicycle, and Ferrara is very cycle-friendly. There is a useful supermarket almost next -door. Strongly recommended!
The hotel exceeded all my expectations, and I highly recommend staying in this hotel in Ferrara. The hotel is very close to the train station, and just few minutes (around 10) walking from the city center. The staff was very nice and helpful, and I particularly acknowledge because they provided a gluten free option for me for the breakfast. The breakfast was amazing with several options.
Great hotel close to a mall and in walking distance from Ferrara center. A value for miney excellent choise for someone who visits this beautiful city of Italy. There was parking lot for our car and optional breakfast. We travel a lot by car, especially in Italy and many times we need a rest stop on our way back, so Ferrara is a perfect place for this. And this hotel too!
Picturesque and pleasant hotel. When I arrived before eleven o'clock in the morning, planning just to drop my bags, they had a room ready for me to check in. Comfortable bed. Conveniently placed for northern Ferrara attractions including Pinacoteca and Jewish cemetery. Nice varied breakfast. Friendly staff. Basically an excellent place to stay.
The hotel is centrally located, a walking distance from main attractions of Ferrara, it's also easy to find a restaurant or bar around it. They have a special deal with the city so if you are staying at the hotel you will have a much better price for the parking. The staff was very polite and friendly too.
The room is very pretty, the breakfast was great and had some gluten-free options. We had our breakfast outside in the garden and loved looking at the olive trees in the courtyard. The hotel is a short walk away from the centre. I would totally recommend staying here if you want to visit Ferrara.
One of the most welcoming places I've stayed in Italy. The location was perfect (for me), situated in a beautiful part of the Ferrara's Old Town, close to Palazzo Schifanoia. A balcony was a welcome addition as the weather was wonderful! Will definitely stay in Green Rooms again.
The location was very good (in the historic district of Ferrara and that was wonderful) and it was good value. It was a "smart hotel" so therefore no one at reception (except for one time). The manager was available through Whatsapp and he was very nice when we met him.
Immediate friendly reception with help for car parking. City centre 1 minute walk, terrific beds and we loved the breakfast which was made and serviced with love. We recommend this hotel to anybody who want to see Ferrara, which is, as all cities in Italy, charming.
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!
The hotel is located in the heart of the historic center, with a panoramic view of the castle. Our room is clean, spacious and very comfortable. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good and included in the price. Excellent value!
The property was comfortable for our family of 6. It’s location is fantastic. The center of Ferrara is at your doorstep. We were able to walk to sites and lots of restaurants. Great place.
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station,but it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the center. The bed is very comfortable,the room has a safe,fridge and kettle.
Beautiful Hotel, outstanding service, good “English” breakfast, perfect location to visit Ferrara. Congratulations to all the staff ee are planning to use again your Hotel.
Parking in front of the hotel. Close to the highway, but quiet. Friendly staff. Room was nice, modern and well sized. Nice bathrooms. Good free Wi-Fi. Breakfast was nice.
