Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book this apartment if you plan extensive train travel - it is across the street from Bologna Centrale, giving easy day access to Modena, Florence, and Ferrara.

  • 02

    Use the paid airport shuttle (cost found on your booking confirmation) or the Marconi Express from the station for airport transfers.

  • 03

    Request a room facing away from the street if you are a light sleeper, as traffic noise is present in this busy area.
