In the heart of Bologna, between the ancient streets and the modern rhythms of the city, there is a place where tradition and commercial liveliness meet: La Piazzola.
Also known as the Montagnola Market, La Piazzola is a historical and cultural reference point for the citizens of Bologna and visitors. Every week, this market attracts thousands of people eager to discover unique products, make profitable deals and immerse yourself in the authentic and lively atmosphere that only such an ancient market can offer.
History and timetables
La Piazzola has a fascinating history that dates back to the thirteenth century.
Originally, the market took place in various squares of Bologna, reflecting the itinerant nature of medieval trade. However, in the 18th century, the market was finally located in the Parco della Montagnola, a green area located in the heart of the city.
This move was part of a larger urban redevelopment plan that aimed to create functional and pleasant public spaces.
The market is held every Friday and Saturday, from early morning until late afternoon.
During these two days, la Piazzola turns into a lively melting pot of stalls offering a wide range of products: from vintage and fashion clothing to accessories, from shoes to home products, local handicrafts and culinary delights.
This makes the typical Bolognese market a great place for anyone looking for something special or just wanting to enjoy a stroll through the stalls.
La Piazzola is a ten minute walk from Garage Excelsior
One of the most convenient features of La Piazzola is its proximity to the Parking Garage Excelsior, located next to the Bologna Central Station.
This strategic position makes the market easily accessible both for those who arrive in the city by train and for those who prefer to travel by car.
Garage Excelsior offers numerous parking spaces, allowing visitors to park comfortably and dedicate themselves to the discovery of the market without worries.
