HOTEL BOLOGNA, Turin

Set in a 19th-century building in Turin's centre, the hotel sits directly across from Porta Nuova Station, giving guests direct access to metro lines, tram stops, and the airport bus (stop within a 2-minute walk). The Egyptian Museum is 10 minutes away, while the Museum of Natural History, Via Roma, and the city's main squares are a 15-minute stroll. The area is dense with restaurants, cafés, and shops within a few hundred metres. For drivers, paid parking (approx. €24/day) is available at the station garage. The hotel's central position makes it easy to explore on foot or by public transport.
