Emilia-Romagna is located in Northern Italy, forming a key geographical link between Northern and Central Italy. The region stretches from the Po River in the north to the Apennine Mountains in the south, and from the Ligurian and Tuscan borders in the west to the Adriatic Sea in the east. With a total area of 22,123 km², it is one of the largest and most diverse regions in Italy.

To the north, Emilia-Romagna borders the regions of Lombardy and Veneto, while in the south, it meets Tuscany, Le Marche, and the independent microstate of San Marino. To the west lie Piedmont and Liguria. The eastern coastline opens up to the Adriatic Sea, contributing to the region’s mild Mediterranean climate — ideal for beach holidays and coastal activities.
