Bologna is one of Italy's liveliest cities: a thousand-year-old university, UNESCO-listed porticoes, outstanding cuisine and a strategic position in the heart of the Po Valley. Renting a car here means having the freedom to explore the Emilian capital and easily reach the whole region without relying on public transport.

Tino Rent compares all the main rental companies in the city and at Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), just 6 km from the centre. Choose the most suitable vehicle — a compact car to move between the porticoes, an SUV for the Bolognese hills or an MPV for the whole family — and book online in a few clicks.

The heart of Bologna is best visited on foot, but a car opens up the surrounding region. In the city don't miss the Two Towers — Asinelli (97 m) and Garisenda — the medieval symbol of the power of the Bolognese families. The Basilica of San Petronio in Piazza Maggiore is one of the largest Gothic churches in the world, while the Neptune Fountain is the city's classic meeting point.

Bologna is the world capital of gastronomy: tortellini in broth, tagliatelle al ragù, mortadella and crescentine are just the beginning. The historic markets of the Quadrilatero — via Pescherie Vecchie, via Drapperie — are a unique sensory experience. With a car you can then head into the Bolognese hills, among villas, sanctuaries and Pignoletto DOC wineries.
Bologna's location is unbeatable: in 30 minutes you're in Modena (balsamic vinegar, Ferrari Museum, UNESCO Duomo), in 45 minutes in Parma (DOP Prosciutto, Parmigiano Reggiano, Teatro Regio) and in 60 minutes in Ravenna, with its extraordinary UNESCO-listed Early Christian mosaics.

To the south, the Via Emilia takes you to the heart of the Motor Valley: Ferrari in Maranello, Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Ducati in Borgo Panigale. Nature lovers can reach the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park or Lake Suviana in an hour. For those flying in or out, picking up the car directly at Marconi (BLQ) is the most convenient option: zero transfers, maximum efficiency.
