By Plane

By Air The Bologna airport “Gugliemo Marconi” is linked by national and international air lines to flights to London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, and many other places. With the Marconi Express, you commute to and from the Bologna airport from Bologna Central Railway Station and the city centre in 7.5 minutes, on an elevated track over the road traffic with a comfortable, fast and clean electric shuttle. Several other Italian international airports at reasonable distance are also available (e.g., Milan, Venice, Florence).

By Train

Bologna is the main italian railway junction and therefore all the most important national and international lines pass through it. Regular and high speed trains connect it to all the major italian cities. The service is run by two main companies: Trenitalia and ItaloTreno. Many night trains link Bologna with Germany, France and Austria.

By Car

The main motorway connection is the A1 (the “Autostrada del Sole”), which links Bologna directly to Milan, Florence and Rome and to three other main routes. The A1 can be entered from Turin, Genoa or Brescia, by the A21, at Piacenza; from Genoa and La Spezia, by the A15, at Parma; from Brenner Pass, Verona, Mantova, by the A22, at Modena. From Trieste, Tarvisio-Villach, Venice and Padua the A13 motorway is direct, as it is the A14 from Ancona, Rimini and Ravenna. All the motorways exits lead into the city by-pass (follow the signs “Tangenziale”) from which branch off the roads for all directions. The by-pass exit n.7 (Centro – Via Stalingrado) is the more direct one: it leads you on a large road (Via Stalingrado) pointing to the centre.
