The journey
Fifty-two kilometres north-east, forty-five minutes. A Renaissance town that stayed intact, with a moated castle in the middle of it and more bicycles than cars. Flat, walkable, and rarely crowded.
Arriving at Bologna Airport
Marconi is six kilometres from the centre, connected by an elevated monorail that opened in 2020. Bologna is also the junction of Italy's rail network, which makes the airport a common arrival point for people going somewhere else entirely.
- The Marconi Express monorail runs to the central station in seven minutes, every seven minutes, for €11.
- Bologna Centrale is the crossroads of Italian rail. Florence is thirty-five minutes, Milan an hour, Venice ninety minutes.
- The centre has forty kilometres of covered arcades. It rains in Emilia and nobody carries an umbrella.
How long it really takes
Maps says 45 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 75 to 120 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
