Piazza del Nettuno: Bologna's Historic Heart

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from any location in Romagna, head towards the A14 motorway. Depending on your starting point, you may need to follow local roads to reach the A14. Take the A14 towards Bologna and exit at 'Bologna Arcoveggio'. Continue on Via della Repubblica and follow signs to the city center. Once in Bologna, look for parking options. There are several public parking garages nearby, such as Parcheggio Riva Reno or Parcheggio Piazza VIII Agosto, where you can park for a fee (around €2-3 per hour). From your parking spot, it's a short 10-15 minute walk to Piazza del Nettuno.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer to use public transportation, you can take a train to Bologna Centrale, which is well connected to various cities in Romagna. Once you arrive at Bologna Centrale, exit the train station and look for the bus stop outside. You can catch bus lines 21 or 25 that will take you to the city center. The fare for a single bus ticket is approximately €1.50. After about 15-20 minutes, get off at the 'Piazza Maggiore' stop. From there, it's a short 5-minute walk to Piazza del Nettuno; simply head southeast on Via Ugo Bassi and then turn right onto Via Rizzoli, which leads directly to the piazza.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or a ride-sharing service like Uber from your current location in Romagna. This option provides the convenience of door-to-door service. The cost will vary depending on your starting point but expect to pay between €30-50 from most areas in Romagna to Bologna city center. The journey typically takes around 1 hour, depending on traffic. Upon arrival, you can be dropped off near Piazza del Nettuno, which will save you the hassle of parking.
