Bologna → Bologna city centre: key facts

A private transfer from Bologna Airport (BLQ) to Bologna city centre costs €85 per car for 1–3 passengers and €110 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 15 km; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the Bologna airport terminal, just after the baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Bologna is the capital of Emilia-Romagna, known for its red-brick porticoes, the Two Towers and the Piazza Maggiore. The airport is about 6 km north-west of the centre, joined by the tangenziale and the A14. The historic centre has a large ZTL inside the ring of avenues that follows the old city walls, and the Piazza Maggiore is pedestrian, so the driver stops at the nearest permitted street. The porticoes mean that the final walk is often covered.

The centre of Bologna is organised around Piazza Maggiore, where the Basilica di San Petronio, the Palazzo d'Accursio and the Fountain of Neptune stand. The Two Towers, the Asinelli at 97 metres and the shorter Garisenda, are a few minutes away, and the old market streets of the Quadrilatero lie between them. The university quarter runs along Via Zamboni. Bologna Centrale is north of the centre, about 1.5 km from Piazza Maggiore along Via dell'Indipendenza. The covered Portico di San Luca climbs to a hill sanctuary outside the centre.

Public transport instead: Marconi Express people mover Marconi Express from Aeroporto G. Marconi to Bologna Centrale — about 7–8 min, €12.80 single ticket, every 7 min at peak times, every 15 min early and late.
