Football trips to Bologna 2025/26

Bologna has been one of the more interesting destinations in Serie A in recent seasons, and interest in travelling there for a match has grown noticeably. On this site you can compare travel packages and match tickets from a range of companies — from those selling individual tickets to those offering full package tours including flights and hotel. The companies listed vary in what they include, so it's worth looking at the details rather than just the price. Some focus purely on getting you into the ground, while others arrange the whole trip. Bologna is a compact, walkable city that suits a weekend trip well, and there are usually options for both home and away fixtures across the season. The comparison covers around 15 different companies, so there's a reasonable spread of alternatives to look through before deciding what suits you best.

Compare football trips to Bologna

When you compare football trips to Bologna on this site, you'll find that the options range quite a bit — not just in price, but in what's actually included. A basic ticket-only listing gets you into the ground and nothing else. A full football tour might include return flights, a centrally located hotel, the match ticket itself, and sometimes extras like a stadium tour or a guided walk around the city. It's worth being clear about what you actually need before comparing. If you're already sorting your own travel, a ticket-only option makes sense. If you want everything handled in one booking, a package is more convenient. The companies listed here operate differently in terms of customer service, booking flexibility and what happens if a match is postponed, so checking those details on each seller's page before purchasing is a good idea.

Bologna tickets

Getting Bologna tickets can be straightforward if you go through one of the companies listed on this site. Buying tickets for Bologna directly from the club is possible in theory, but it typically requires a membership or fan card, and availability for visiting supporters isn't always guaranteed through official channels. Using one of the partners here is a more reliable route — you know you have a confirmed place before you travel. Match tickets are listed by several different sellers, and the sections available can vary depending on the fixture and how the club allocates away or neutral areas. For high-profile Serie A matches or European fixtures, demand is higher and availability through resellers can tighten. Always check what section the ticket covers, as some areas of Stadio Renato Dall'Ara have restricted views depending on where you're seated. More details on specific listings are available on each seller's page.

Supporter guide to Bologna and Stadio Renato Dall'Ara

The area around Stadio Renato Dall'Ara isn't packed with tourist bars, but there are a few solid options nearby. The neighbourhood along Via Andrea Costa has local bars that fill up on matchdays. For a better pre-match atmosphere with other fans, the city centre — particularly around Piazza Maggiore and the streets of the university quarter — is where most people gather before heading to the ground. Bologna's bar culture is relaxed and genuinely local, so you won't feel like you're in a tourist trap. Visiting fans are generally advised to arrive at the stadium at least 45 minutes before kick-off, as the away section has its own entrance and queues can build up. Keep your ticket and ID accessible. The stadium is not in the city centre, so plan your route in advance. Away fans are typically directed to a specific gate — check your ticket for the correct entrance.

Getting to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara

Stadio Renato Dall'Ara sits in the western part of the city, roughly 3–4 kilometres from the historic centre. Walking from Piazza Maggiore takes around 35–40 minutes, which is doable but not ideal if you're short on time. The most practical option is taking bus line 21 from the city centre, which runs along Via Ugo Bassi and heads towards the stadium area — get off at the stop near Via Andrea Costa. Taxis and ride-share apps work fine on matchdays, though traffic near the ground can slow things down in the final 30 minutes before kick-off. Bologna Centrale railway station is the main transport hub and well connected to the rest of Italy by high-speed train, making it easy to arrive from cities like Florence, Milan or Rome on the same day. There is some parking around the stadium, but driving is generally not recommended on matchdays due to road closures and congestion.

Stadio Renato Dall'Ara

Stadio Renato Dall'Ara was built in the early 1920s and has been Bologna's home ground ever since. It was originally called Stadio Littoriale when it opened in 1927, and was renamed after the club's long-serving president Renato Dall'Ara in 1983. The stadium holds approximately 38,000 spectators and is one of the older grounds still in regular use in Serie A. It has a distinctive curved concrete structure and a tower at one end that gives it a recognisable silhouette. The main stands — Tribuna, Curva Andrea Costa and Curva Bulgarelli — each have their own character. The Curva Andrea Costa is where the most vocal home support tends to gather. The ground was used during the 1934 and 1990 FIFA World Cups. There have been ongoing discussions about renovation or a new stadium for several years, but as of the 2025/26 season, Dall'Ara remains the club's home.

Package trip or tickets

A package trip to Bologna makes most sense if you're coming from further away and want to avoid piecing together flights, accommodation and tickets separately. The travel package options listed here vary — some are fairly minimal (ticket plus hotel), while others include transfers and additional activities. For a city like Bologna, a two or three night stay is enough to see the match and get a feel for the place. If you're already based in Italy or travelling independently, a ticket-only purchase is the more flexible route. One thing to check with any package is the hotel location — central Bologna is compact and walkable, so a centrally located hotel is genuinely useful. Packages are sold by different companies with different terms, so look at the cancellation policy and what happens in case of a rescheduled fixture before committing. That information is available on each individual seller's page.

Bologna's rivalries

Bologna's main rivalry is with Modena, a fixture known locally as the Derby dell'Emilia. The two clubs come from the same region and meetings between them carry real local significance, though they haven't always been in the same division at the same time. There's also a broader regional rivalry with Parma and Reggiana, clubs that share the Emilia-Romagna identity. Matches against Fiorentina have a longer history and tend to generate more noise given the geographical proximity between Bologna and Florence. In Serie A, fixtures against the traditional big clubs — Juventus, Inter and Milan — are always high-profile, but those are competitive rather than rivalry-driven in the traditional sense. The Derby dell'Emilia remains the fixture that means most to the local fanbase.

History and great players

Bologna is one of Italy's oldest football clubs, founded in 1909, and spent much of the early twentieth century as a dominant force in Italian football. The club won seven Serie A titles, with most of those coming in the 1920s and 1930s. That golden era is still a point of pride for the fanbase. In more recent decades, Bologna have been a solid mid-table Serie A side with occasional European appearances. The club has produced and attracted a number of notable players over the years. Roberto Mancini played for Bologna, as did Giuseppe Signori, who was a prolific striker in the 1990s. Sinisa Mihajlovic had two spells at the club, first as a player and later as a coach. More recently, the Croatian midfielder Marko Arnautovic became a fan favourite during his time in Bologna before moving on, and players like Riccardo Orsolini have emerged through the club's setup as genuine Serie A-level talents.

Other activities in Bologna

A football trip to Bologna gives you a good excuse to spend time in a city that's genuinely worth exploring. The historic centre is compact and easy to walk around — the porticoes (covered walkways) that line the streets are a UNESCO-listed feature and make the city unusually pleasant to navigate regardless of the weather. Piazza Maggiore is the natural starting point, with the Basilica di San Petronio on one side and plenty of cafés nearby. The university quarter around Via Zamboni is lively and has a good range of bars and restaurants. Bologna has a serious food reputation — it's the origin of ragù and mortadella, and eating well here doesn't require going anywhere fancy. The Quadrilatero market area near the centre is worth a visit for local produce. For a view over the city, the Torre degli Asinelli in the centre offers a climb of around 500 steps and a clear panorama across the rooftops.
