Are you in Bologna for tourism, work or study?
If you arrive by car, drop off your luggage here first, then park your car at a conveniently located garage. It is as simple as that.
At Cà Fosca, you are in the heart of the old city, which developed and grew
around the University grounds. You may walk to Piazza Mercanzia (which will reveal its history to you) or down the street and through the Clavature Market to Piazza Maggiore. From there a bus or a taxi will take you to your destination (convention centre, railway station, parks or Fair quarter). If you walk past Via Rizzoli, you will find yourself in the old Jewish ghetto, just beyond the university. Walking through Santo Stefano and Corte Isolani, down Strada Maggiore you will reach the Department of Economy of the University of Bologna and the Academy of Music. If you don’t feel like walking, Cà Fosca has bicycles and scooters which you are welcome to use. At Cà Fosca you may consult online for local museum exhibitions or find information for your evening outing. If you are travelling with your family, the little ones will find toys, cartoons, a scooter, a baby-sitter, and a safe and secure rooftop garden where they can play.
