How to get the city

To reach Ferrara from Bologna airport (BLQ), three options are available:

by Bus&Fly

Direct connection Bologna Airport – Ferrara city centre: outside the arrival terminal, close to the touristic bus area, you can find the “BUS & FLY” stop area. This shuttle goes directly to Ferrara. (~ 1hour). No charge for baggage. Children under 1m tall travel free if accompanied by an adult. One-way ticket € 20,00 on board; € 17,00 pre-sale (online). Group reductions available.

You can get off either at the train station or in Via Cavour, just in front of the Castello Estense (more convenient if you are going to one of the hotels in the city centre or directly to the workshop site).

by Train

Train line: Bologna-Ferrara-Venice
Roughly two trains every hour (from 6 am to 11 pm).

From Bologna airport to Bologna railway station:
Aerobus BLQ: regular shuttle from the airport to Bologna central train station. Departures every 12 minutes(from 6 a.m. to midnight). Tickets on board.
Tel. +39 051 2902902

We recommend traveling on a Regionale Veloce train (“veloce” means fast): they run about every hour, the duration is about 30 minutes and the ticket costs slightly less than 5 euro. The other Regionale trains take about 50 minutes for the same price. High-speed trains (“Frecce”) cost significantly more but save you only about 10 minutes. In addition, not all high-speed trains stop in Ferrara, so pay attention. You can find timetables here.
