Transfer from Bologna Airport to Ravenna

Your journey follows the A14 motorway south from Bologna Airport, a modern toll highway that cuts through the Emilia-Romagna region toward the Adriatic. You'll pass near Forlì and Cesena, crossing flat agricultural landscape dotted with small towns; the drive is straightforward and uncongested outside rush hours (7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m. weekdays see slowdowns near Bologna exits). The A14 terminates at Ravenna with a dedicated spur, delivering you to the city's edges in under 90 minutes door-to-door.

Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of whichever terminal your flight lands, holding a name sign—no confusion, no hunting. Bologna Airport sits north of the city, so the A14 bypass avoids the historic centre's restricted zone entirely. Allow 15 minutes extra if your flight is delayed; real-time flight monitoring means your driver adjusts automatically. Once in Ravenna, popular drop-off points include Piazzale Aldo Moro (free parking, 15-minute walk to the Byzantine mosaics) or Largo Giustiniano near the Basilica San Vitale—confirm your preference when booking.

Taxis from Bologna Airport charge metered fares (typically €50–70 plus tolls, negotiated on arrival) and sit in queues during peak hours. Public transport requires the Marconi Express train to Bologna Centrale (7 minutes), then a regional train to Ravenna (1 hour 15 minutes, €6–17)—three separate tickets, three separate waits, and no luggage assistance. A pre-booked private transfer costs EUR 225.31, includes all A14 tolls and fees, offers a fixed price with no surprises, and delivers you door-to-door with your driver already knowing your flight status and drop-off address.
