Consejos de llegada a Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport

If you arrive from outside the Schengen area, you pass passport control before baggage claim. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Flights from Schengen countries arrive without passport checks.

Baggage claim is on the arrivals level, and car rental desks are in the arrivals area near the exit. Once through the doors, signs point to the Marconi Express monorail station for the ride to Bologna Centrale, and the official taxi rank is just outside the arrivals exit. If you booked a driver, they usually wait in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. Only use licensed white taxis from the rank, and ignore anyone offering rides inside the terminal.

Bologna has hot, humid summers and cold, foggy winters. The airport runs on Central European Time (UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer), and Italy uses the euro.

Transporte terrestre

The Marconi Express monorail is the quickest link to Bologna Centrale station, while a taxi suits travelers with heavy luggage or going straight to a hotel.

  • Marconi Express to Bologna Centrale

    The monorail leaves from its station at the terminal and reaches Bologna Centrale in about 7 minutes, with a stop at Lazzaretto. It runs daily from 5:40 to midnight, every 7 to 15 minutes. You still need a walk, bus or taxi from Centrale to most hotels.

  • Taxi from Bologna airport

    The official taxi rank is outside the arrivals exit, served by Bologna's licensed taxi cooperatives. The ride to the city center takes about 15 to 20 minutes, longer at rush hour.

  • City bus 944

    TPER bus 944 links the airport with the western districts of Bologna and Maggiore Hospital, and its last late-night departures continue to Bologna Centrale. It is slower than the monorail but useful late at night.

  • Buses to other cities

    Direct coaches run daily from the airport to Ferrara, Florence, Modena, Ravenna, Rimini and Cervia. Timetables are limited, so check departure times before you fly.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you straight to your address in Bologna or elsewhere in Emilia-Romagna. It avoids changes between monorail, train and bus, but needs to be arranged in advance.
