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.
I wasn't planning a stay in Ferrara, but I was towed to the town after my car broke down. This was the closest hotel to where I was left by the tow truck, so booked in.
The staff were amazing. Really helpful and way more help than my insurance company!
The room was comfortable and the breakfast great.
I have a pretty low opinion of Italian hotels, but this one is really good, especially for the money.
Hotel is great. It is a walking distance from Ferrara centre. We were staying here on our way to Rome with our two year old baby girl and enjoyed it. It has a garden in the middle where we also had breakfast beacuse it was the end of May and warm enough. Breakfast is great very rich and planty to choose from. Our room was on the ground floor so we also had a terrace. Our kid enjoyed it.
The hotel Manager is excellent! Great communication prior to arrival and throughout the stay. Parking can be a challenge when the city is busy. He was prepared, walking us through where to park and providing a map. He even offered us a pre-paid option that was cheaper and extremely convenient. The location is fantastic! They have a large espresso machine and the coffee is great.
This is a lovely, well-furnished apartment within walking distance of most Ferrara attractions. The kitchen is more than adequate, the beds comfortable and the apartment was full of light from both windows and sky lights. The hosts made helpful recommendations about where to eat and what to see. They offered to book a taxi for us. We would easily choose to stay here again.
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.
This is a nice hotel at a good location, with very friendly staff. It is possible to park right at the hotel entrance for a short time while checking in and out.
Our room was quite large and quiet, facing the courtyard.
During our two-week stay in Italy, breakfast here was far the most abundant and manifold with a very wide selection of food and drinks.
Perfect location, right in the centre of Ferrara and with a parking (paying).
Hotel is charming, somewhat old fashioned but nice and confortable.
Nice sized room with good bathroom and big shower.
Very friendly staff.
Very good breakfast, with a good choice of products and pastries and fresh coffee.
Fantastic hotel a short walk to the centre of Ferrara. The very large and clean room was extremely well-equipped with a coffee machine, fridge and exercise bike. The welcoming bottle of prosecco was a lovely touch. Unsecure parking is a 10-minute walk away and cost €2.80 for an overnight stay.
The location in downtown Ferrara (near the castle) is great, though not particularly "charming." The staff was very helpful in providing local knowledge. Breakfast was a notch or two above the usual coffee and pastry offerings at similar hotels.
Excellent staff work - room service, etc.
Room furnished like 3+ star hotel (A/C, TV, a lot of space, nice bathroom-toilet, bided, shower)
Close to the city Centre and yet quiet place
I’ll recommend this accommodation.
Location is very central, the hotel is modern and comfortable, spacious room, very clean, comfortable bed, good WiFi connection. We would certainly stay in this hotel again when back in Ferrara. Highly recommended.
Clean, spacious, and historic hotel located in the heart of the old city of Ferrara and close to all sights and amenities. Rooms were cleaned every day and the buffet breakfast was excellent.
This hotel was very nice and worth the price. Very good breakfast, friendly hosts, clean room good equiped, private parking. We can recomend this hotel for stay in Ferrara.
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.
