How to reach Modena

By plane

The closest airport to Modena is the Guglielmo Marconi International Airport in Bologna, located approximately 40 km away.

Once landed at the airport, you can:

• take a direct Aerbus to Modena. The bus runs every two hours, from 6:15 a.m. (first run) until 10:30 p.m. (last run). The stop is outside the arrival lounge, on the right. The one way ticket is 12 Euro and can be purchased on the bus. The complete timetable is available HERE, for both inbound (Bologna to Modena) and outbound (Modena to Bologna) connections. Once in Modena, make sure to get off the bus at a stop close to your hotel, or where a taxi service is available (e.g., Modena Stazione Piccola).

If your arrival time does not fit well with the Aerobus departure times, you can:

• take the Bologna shuttle bus to the Bologna railway station, which is only 6 chilometers away from the Guglielmo Marconi airport. From there, there are frequent trains to Modena running approximately every half an hour. As for the trains, the complete timetable can be consulted HERE.

Alternatively, you can take:

• a taxi from the Bologna airport to your hotel in Modena. This will definitely not be the cheapest way to get to Modena (it costs about € 60,00), but it will be convenient if you arrive very late at night.

By train

Modena is crossed by the Milano-Bologna railway line, the most important and busiest line in Italy. The Modena railway station is in Piazza Dante Alighieri.
