We loved wandering around here and just looking at all the foods. Everything looked just amazingly delicious (and we did sample a few things and they were great). The atmosphere of the market was a bit different than some others we have visited and there are many restaurants and cafes in the area which add to the visit. I would definitely be sure to stop here when you visit Bologna.

Visiting the city, you will inevitably see some of this area but it is worth wandering off the main roads so you can soak up the atmosphere. Each alleyway offers another photogenic vista of coloured buildings.

We stayed in this area and it is vibrant and hustle/bustle with the fish market and all the kiosks selling mainly sausage, pasta and cheese.

What a busy area, teeming with people, tables spilling into the streets it’s often difficult to negotiate moving around. Every restaurant is full of people eating and drinking especially at the weekend. A beautiful sight

The Quadrilatero is a nice walk through narrow alleyways where you'll find places such as cafes, butchers, bakers and pasta shops. Along these alleyways you'll also see flower, fruit and veg and fishmonger stalls. Personally, it's a nice walk only as it's really no different from going to your local market

Arguably the best neighborhood in the city. Old streets and buildings, narrow alleys, make such a beautiful picture. Loved it

A big tourist trap. Low quality food and High prices. Devoted to Mass tourism. Walk ten minuts more and eat somwhere far from Piazza Maggiore. In Piazza Santo Stefano there Is a supermarket with food to go very good, at the right side of the church.

(Or maybe that should be ‘the belly’?) It was busy every day and evening we were there and there is loads of choice for places for food. Very pretty lanes too and the fact that it is all pedestrianised made it lovely to wander round.

If you eating, buying or just gazing at amazing food then you have to spend some time wandering the narrow streets of this area.
There are plenty of cafes and restaurants to enjoy a coffee, snack or meal and loads of places to buy food for taking away and eating in one of the many piazzas or parks nearby. A bit touristy of course but mainly supported by locals

Is there a reasonably close place to park? We will be driving from Venice to Montepulciano and would love to make a stop here along the way if possible.

No cars in the centre and certainly not in Quadrilatero. Park on the edge at railway station. Walk and take in the porticoes and wonderful churches.

Hi Thom
To the east of Piazza Maggiore, the grid of streets around Via Clavature (Street of Locksmiths) sits on what was once Roman Bologna. Known as the Quadrilatero, this compact district is a great place for a wander with its market stalls, happening cafes and lavishly stocked gourmet delis.
Hope you enjoy it if you go.
Ciao Angela

How close is Quadrilatero to the train station? Husband and I will be taking train from Venice and would like to stop here for the day on our way to Florence. Thanks for your help!
