EUR 12.80 single, EUR 23.30 return, for 5,095 metres. No pass covers it, and TPER passes are refused at the gates. A family ticket is EUR 25.60 for two adults and up to three children aged 5 to 16 — the same as two singles, so it only saves on the children. The ticket includes 75 minutes of TPER bus at the far end.
A private car to your door: €81 for four
Four pay €51.20 on the Marconi Express monorail. The car meets you in arrivals and takes you to any address in Bologna in about 20 min, at a price fixed when you book ahead with Welcome Pickups.
A partner link: Welcome Pickups pays us a commission on a booking. It has no say in how the options are ranked.

Ride to Bologna Centrale
8 min.
Worth knowing
Every 7 minutes or so at peak and every 15 off-peak, up to eight departures an hour; the operator advises being on the platform by 23:40. Closed between midnight and 05:40 — which is exactly when the EUR 2.30 bus runs direct instead.
It is the operator's own "circa 7'30"", not the airport's "7 minuti". Trivial, but the airport rounds in its own favour.
Closed midnight to 05:40. If you land in that window, the bus is direct and the monorail is not a choice.
The return at EUR 23.30 saves EUR 2.30 on two singles — the price of one bus ride.
No pass, tourist card or TPER ticket opens the gates.
