Driving Directions: Taxis are readily available at the airport arrival terminal. There is also an ATC Aerobus service that connects to the city's main train station every 15 minutes. Bologna's city centre is compact and fully pedestrianised; therefore walking is the best means of exploring its main attractions. Hiring a bike from the main train station to visit the town is also a popular option. Bologna train station is 800 metres from the hotel. From the airport, take the autostrada in the direction of Santa Lazzaro until you reach Tangenziale. From there, take Exit 6 towards the city centre; the hotel is one kilometre from the Piazza Maggiore, near Feria.
