The small municipality of Malalbergo is situated north-west of Bologna, a short distance from Ferrara. Notwithstanding its discouraging name, Malalbergo is a fascinating centre which has been known since the Middle Ages for its large harbour facing Canale Navile, which turned it into an important harbour station catering for all trading activities carried out between Bologna and the cities of Ferrara and Venice.

The welcoming and picturesque centre of Malalbergo gathers a remarkably wide array of accommodation options, such as the elegant hotels and intimate bed and breakfasts of the old town and the comfortable guest houses and charming farm houses which punctuate the surrounding countryside and the lovely hamlets of Altedo, Casoni, Pegola and Ponticelli.
Those interested in exploring exciting naturalistic itineraries in the province of Bologna will have the possibility to visit enchanting oases and six wetland systems which provide the ideal habitat for rare species of animals and plants, the latter being a traditional tourist mecca for the lovers of birdwatching and nature. Local authorities organize exciting guided tours across Malalbergo's most beautiful naturalistic areas.
Local restaurants and farm houses offer tourists the possibility to taste genuine local staples, such as delicious dishes based on green asparagus, which is Bologna's most representative agricultural product. Every year in May, the tiny hamlet of Altedo is livened up by the Festival of the Green Asparagus. During both the first and the second September weekend, Malalbergo organizes exciting Evenings by Canale Navile, which are livened up by amazing shows, cultural events and fun opportunities.
