Getting Around
How to get to and from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at BLQ
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is connected to Bologna and the wider Italy transport network by multiple ground transport options.
The Marconi Express automated people mover runs direct to Bologna Centrale railway station in about 7 minutes, departing every few minutes.
Local city bus options exist, but the Marconi Express has largely replaced the old Aerobus shuttle as the standard route into the city.
Official taxi rank outside arrivals; central Bologna takes about 20 minutes.
Uber's presence in Bologna is very limited (mostly premium/UberBlack-style service, not standard UberX); most travelers use taxis instead.
On-site rental desks with major international and Italian brands.
Skip the taxi queue and take the Marconi Express — it's faster than a car in city traffic and drops you right at Bologna Centrale, from where most hotels are a short walk or tram ride.
