Best Time of Year to Visit Bologna
Bologna’s timeless beauty welcomes visitors year-round, but the best times for camper van rentals are spring (April-June) and late summer (September-October). During these seasons, you can enjoy the city without the discomfort of sweltering heat or crowds of tourists. Explore the renowned Colli Bolognesi on a bicycle tour, which you can pair with a delightful food and wine experience, creating unforgettable memories.
Cultural richness abounds in Bologna throughout the year. In June, you can immerse yourself in the world of biopics at Biografilm, an international film festival. Enjoy open-air evenings and a diverse array of films at Sotto le Stelle del Cinema, a summer event in Piazza Maggiore featuring movie screenings and interviews with industry figures. As fall arrives, the roBOt Festival (October) and the Bologna Jazz Festival (November) infuse the city with a variety of musical rhythms, catering to all tastes.
Parking in Bologna
If you plan to explore Bologna before embarking on your road trip, navigating parking in the city can be a challenge. Similar to many medieval Italian cities, the entire historic center is a ZTL, restricting transit without a special permit. To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of parking options just outside the city center, perfect for parking your RV rental for a few hours while you explore on foot:
- Parcheggio Tanari at 17 Luigi Tanari Street: A few minutes from downtown, this parking is free when used with a bus ticket. Display your bus ticket to the staff to avoid parking fees (max. 24 hours).
- Parcheggio Staveco at Viale Enrico Panzacchi 10: Paid parking but very convenient for a quick walk to downtown. Note that parking is not guaranteed on busy days and weekends.
- Parcheggio Antistadio at Via Andrea Costa: This parking is free with a public transportation pass but is farther from the center (3 km on foot or 15 minutes with bus lines 14 or 21).
