Ferrara Travel Forum

Hi,

I am travelling to Italy next March and was thinking of stopping
for a few days in Ferrara. The problem is that I am alone, on a
budget, and Ferrara apparently has no hostel anymore per the
official hostelling organization. Casa Degli Artisti seems to
be the cheapest hotel (for a single room, not double), has anyone
stayed there? I don't care if the rooms are very small (who goes
to Italy to sit in their hotel room?) or it has no TV or things
like that. I'm just looking for reasonably clean and safe. (I know
Italy is much safer than the US in general but a woman travelling
alone gets nervous)

Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, Ferrara is a very safe city, I'd say the safest in Emilia-Romagna. I don't know exactly where Casa degli Artisti is, anyway the city centre shouldn't give you troubles.

Enjoy Ferrara!

Grazie! Nice to know it's safe by Italian standards (which I would think are higher than urban USA standards). I'm so excited about my trip and Ferrara looks so gorgeous but this was the only really cheap hotel I could find.
