Rent a roadsurfer Camper Van or RV in Bologna

Are you prepared to embark on your next adventure with your camper van rental in Bologna? Centuries of history, art, and architecture, along with the nearby ocean, captivating scenery, and exceptional local cuisine, are all waiting for you. But where should you start? Here’s some information to help you plan your road trip from Bologna.

Camper vans & RVs with ready-to-go camping gear

Our roadsurfer camper vans and motorhomes are equipped with everything you may need or want on your Bologna road trip. Enjoy a seamless driving experience with built-in navigation, relax and unwind on a big and comfortable bed, and make use of a fully stocked kitchen box that includes a pot and pan, tableware, glasses, utensils, mugs, and a French press for your morning coffee, allowing you to prepare your favorite meals. Additionally, we provide an outdoor table and camping chairs so you can enjoy your time in the outdoors. The only thing you need to bring is a comforter or sleeping bag and your sense of adventure. You can also reserve a comforter when you book your camper van in Bologna, along with many other items that you can find on our equipment list.

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).

Campgrounds near Bologna

Rent a camper van in Bologna and venture into the city and its surroundings. Just beyond the city center, you’ll find several rest areas where you can comfortably stay overnight with your camper van or RV before embarking on explorations of the nearby nature and villages. Discover the ideal spot for your needs on the roadsurfer spots. The app version also offers the convenience of selecting from various pre-established routes or crafting your own itinerary by saving your preferred rest stops.
