Bologna’s airport - Guglielmo Marconi Airport is a national and international airport that is connected to all the major Italian and European cities and even some cities in the USA.

The airport is fairly close to the centre of Bologna and even closer to the Ducati factory.  The Ducati factory can be easily reached by taxi (about 8 Euros and a 5 minute ride). If you are travelling by rental car, please see the By Car section.

It is also easy to get to the centre of town by taxi or bus.  The taxi stand is right outside of the arrivals terminal and a trip to the centre costs 15 – 20 Euros. The Aerobus goes to the Bologna town centre, departing every 20 minutes (tickets cost about 5 Euros and can be purchased on the bus). Buses run every day from 5:20 AM to midnight and the last bus waits for the passengers from the final incoming flight.
The Aerobus stops include:
- Bologna Central Train Station
- Via Indipendenza, (Arena del Sole)
- Via Indipendenza (San Pietro)
- Via Ugo Bassi (Mercato Erbe)
- Ospedale Maggiore
- Airport (Terminal A)
- Airport (Terminal B)
- Airport (Terminal A)
- Airport (Arrivals/Terminal A).
