Getting to the city
Start with the cheapest public transport into Bologna; it is usually the lowest-cost option. Allow extra time for ticket machines, queues and the walk to your stop, and check the last departure before you leave the airport. A taxi or private car costs more but removes the luggage walk and can be worth it late at night. Avoid unlicensed drivers outside the terminal and keep your bags with you on busy services.
