Bologna airport shuttle to Rimini for those who want to travel quickly and in a low cost way starting from 1 € each way. Read and find timetables and departure points from Rimini.
Rimini in summer it is the destination of all tourists and vacationers who come to Italy to take some sun, to live the night or to have fun in the various water parks that are located on the Riviera. A base for various excursions, often during the day, Rimini is a city that does not disappoint but rather offers many leisure activities for adults, children and teenagers.
For those arriving by train directly in Rimini, the city is very convenient, there are buses, taxis and even bikes outside the station that can be rented to move quickly and reach your hotel and accommodation, both for a few days and for a week or more. For those arriving by plane, atMarconi airport of Bologna, the journey to the Riviera and Rimini is not always easy.
There are several means to reach Rimini, from the train, to the car for those who intend to rent one, to the bus. On the other hand, even those from Rimini who decide to go on holiday using the Bologna airport as a starting point for their holidays, must make the same choice.
Car
Arriving at Bologna airport by car, in complete autonomy and without having to submit to specific timetables is convenient, but not always cheap. Bologna airport parking offers discounted rates for the weekend starting from € 19, but to this we must also add thehighway petrol and any stops. The parking lots at Bologna airport, the official ones, are 4, the first three are located in front of the station, but the fourth that is even a little less is the farthest and still requires transport by private vehicle provided by the airport for arrive at the entrance.
Train
Think about taking the train, and then shuttle, to get from Rimini to Bologna airport is however demanding and expensive. The Rimini - Bologna train costs from € 10 for the regional ones, up to 20 € for the arrows each way. Round trip alone they come with the most expensive train, already 40 € per person, just to get to Bologna station. From the station the best solution is to take a aerobus which runs every 11 minutes and which has a cost of 6 € per person, for a total of 26 € each way.
Shuttle
The means I tried to get to Bologna airport is Shuttle Rimini - Bologna.
Departure from Rimini station, with the first and only stop in Via Fada, then straight to Bologna airport without any stop. The service performs well 7 runs every day round trip from Rimini to Bologna airport, leaving travelers to the left of the airport (with their backs to the main entrance of the airport, the stop is on the left, where many other buses also stop) , then practically in front of the entrance.
The ticket costs 20 € one way if purchased at the agency or online on the website, while if you buy the ticket directly on the shuttle the cost of the ticket increases by € 5. Children up to 4 years travel for free, while children aged 4 to 10 pay a ticket of € 8 online and at the agency and € 10 if purchased on the bus.
Each passenger is entitled to a baggage to carry, plus a hand luggage and a possible stroller. Any extra baggage such as sports equipment, bicycles or large luggage has an additional cost. There is no provision for the carriage of baggage without the passenger.
Regarding the timetables, I must say that I found myself very well. I took the shuttle of 4 in the morning, arriving at Bologna airport at 5.30. If you don't have the flight as early as mine, you can take advantage of seven more rides, ranging from 7.30 in the morning with arrival at 9, until 18 with arrival at 19.30 in Bologna, the last race of the evening. The service also operates in reverse, with runs from Bologna airport to Rimini station.
Why did I find this service valid?
Because it allows you to leave even at 4 in the morning, as I did and continue to sleep without having to drive for an hour or so, because there are those who do it for you. Because it makes you arrive in front of the airport entrance, because it makes you read a book without having to look at the road, because with the Rimini - Bologna Shuttle I paid as much as if I had gone by train, or rather less. Because with the € 1 ticket promotions you can save a lot.
Tickets for € 1
If you already know you have to leave well in advance, at least 15 days in advance, try to see immediately if you are within the 1 € ticket promotion. The promotion is valid for both outward and return journeys. Tickets for € 1 can be purchased at least 15 days in advance of the day of departure and based on available seats.
