Unlock the real Emilia-Romagna

Bologna is the culinary capital of Italy, but the surrounding region offers diverse treasures best explored by car. A short drive north-west takes you to Modena, the heart of "Motor Valley" and home to the Ferrari Museum, as well as the world's finest balsamic vinegar. For a change of pace, drive east to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Ravenna. Famous for its exquisite Byzantine mosaics and quiet, pedestrianised streets, it offers a sophisticated day trip steeped in art history.

Driver Age Requirements in Bologna

Can I rent a car in Bologna if I am under 25?

What is the best time of year to explore Bologna by car?

The ideal time to explore Bologna and its surrounding areas is during the shoulder seasons of April to May or September to October. During these months, you can enjoy pleasant weather and plenty of sunshine while avoiding the peak summer crowds.

Car rentals are often easier to book, and local events or festivals make your trip even more memorable. Planning your visit in these months gives you the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and authentic local experiences.
