Stadium Renato Dall’Ara is one of Italy’s most distinctive football grounds and a true Bologna landmark. Opened in 1927, it’s instantly recognisable for the monumental Torre di Maratona and the classic sweep of its stands—an old-school silhouette that still feels grand on match and event nights. With around 38,000 seats, it’s the home of Bologna FC and a venue built for big atmospheres.
Inside, the experience is all about proximity and intensity: the steeper terraces pull you closer to the action, while the loud home ends give the stadium its signature pulse. Fans appreciate the clear sightlines from most areas, the strong acoustics for major fixtures and concerts, and the practical food-and-drink options that keep queues manageable between key moments.
The address is Via Andrea Costa 174, Bologna, Italy. The main approaches and entrances run along Via Andrea Costa, and the “Stadio” stop sits right outside, making it easy to arrive close to the gates. If you’re coming by car, there are parking possibilities in the surrounding streets and nearby areas (depending on event-day arrangements), so it’s best to approach via Andrea Costa and follow stadium signage; for the wider picture of getting around the city, see the text below.
