Mostra del Disco Bologna 2026: where to stay near Piazza Lucio Dalla

The Mostra del Disco returns to Bologna in December 2026 with a new edition of its fair dedicated to vinyl, collectible CDs and music memorabilia. The event takes place at Piazza Lucio Dalla, right in the historic heart of the city, an open-air venue that brings together Italian and international dealers every year. The fair is part of the long-running Mostra del Disco originally launched in Pordenone in 1991, now one of Italy's leading vinyl events. Beyond the stalls, it draws collectors, casual diggers and music fans into a focused, friendly atmosphere built around records and music culture. If you plan to attend, it pays to book your stay early in the areas around Piazza Lucio Dalla, which are well connected to Bologna Centrale station and Marconi Airport. December is peak season in Bologna thanks to its Christmas markets, so rooms near the venue tend to sell out quickly.
