But there's truly something for everyone: Autopromotec highlights Bologna’s role as a strategic hub for the automotive business, while CERSAIE, the international exhibition for ceramic and bathroom furnishings, draws architects, designers, and industry professionals from all over the world. To conclude, EIMA International, one of the top global expos for agricultural mechanization, transforms Bologna into a global hub for agro-industrial innovation.
Located in front of Bologna Central Station, UNA Hotels Bologna Centro is a strategic choice for those arriving in town by train or needs to get around quickly to attend trade shows and events.

Even the Guglielmo Marconi Airport, just 10 km away, is very close to the hotel.
Instead, travelers arriving by car can use the hotel’s garage for a worry-free stay. Due to the high number of guests during trade show periods, it’s highly recommended to reserve your parking spot in advance.
