How far is Bologna Airport from Bologna city centre? The Airport is 6 kilometers far from the city center and the Central Train Station. The air terminal is dedicated to Guglielmo Marconi and has become a landmark for Italian and international transport over the years. Especially for its location, not far from the high-speed lines.
