Two routes that matter in Emilia-Romagna

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is a compact single-terminal airport about 6 km northwest of the city, so the drive in is short — usually 15 to 20 minutes. The Marconi Express people-mover connects the terminal to Bologna Centrale in a few minutes, but it ends at the station rather than your door, which is the main reason travellers with luggage, early flights or hotels in the porticoed centre book a car instead.

Bologna is also the usual mainland base for Ravenna Cruise Port, about 76 km east on the Adriatic. Embarkation days run to a fixed clock, so most cruise passengers prefer a single confirmed pickup — from the airport, the city centre or their hotel — rather than a train plus a local connection at the Ravenna end. The reverse legs below cover disembarkation mornings, when the whole ship leaves at once.

Pick your route below for the distance, journey time and what to include when you request a quote.

Bologna Airport → Bologna Hotels

Arrivals at BLQ, taken directly to the hotel door — including addresses in the historic centre where the street layout makes self-drive awkward.

Bologna Hotels → Bologna Airport

Departure legs, timed back from your flight so the pickup allows for traffic, check-in and security at the terminal.

Common Questions

Bologna & Ravenna Transfers — FAQ

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) sits about 6 km northwest of the historic centre, which usually means a 15 to 20 minute drive — longer at peak hours or if your hotel is inside the narrow streets of the old town.

Yes. The Marconi Express people-mover runs between the terminal and Bologna Centrale station in a few minutes. It is a sensible option if you are travelling light, but it leaves you at the station with a walk or a second taxi to your hotel, which a direct transfer avoids.

The cruise terminal sits along the Candiano Canal at the Porto di Ravenna, roughly 76 km from Bologna via the A14 Adriatica motorway — generally a little over an hour by road. Treat that as an estimate rather than a promise, since traffic varies.

Yes. Transfers to Ravenna can start from any of the Bologna hotels listed on this page, from the city centre, or directly from the airport if you are flying in on embarkation day.
