If you are planning to take part in the 2025 edition of La Notte Rosa, getting to Romagna is easy thanks to a well-organised network of connections, allowing you to choose from a number of convenient and fast solutions.
Those who decide to arrive by car can count on a very efficient motorway network. The main access routes are the A14 Bologna-Bari motorway, which runs parallel to the Adriatic coast, the E45 Rome-Ravenna for those coming from Central Italy, the A1 Milan-Naples motorway, which easily connects with the A14 at Bologna, and the A13 Bologna-Padua for those coming from the North-East. The State Highway 16 Adriatica is also a scenic alternative, perfect for those who want to move between the various locations along the coast.
The train is an excellent alternative to the car, especially on busy days. The railway network is extensive and serves all the main resorts along the Riviera, from Rimini to Riccione, from Cesenatico to Ravenna. Trenitalia offers numerous regional and long-distance services, while Italo guarantees high-speed connections to Rimini. Even tourists from Germany can easily reach Romagna thanks to the train connections offered by Deutsche Bahn via the Brenner Pass.
Those who prefer to travel by bus can take advantage of the numerous services operating in the area. Companies such as Flixbus connect the Riviera with many Italian and European cities, while Shuttle Italy Airport offers convenient transfers to the Riviera from Bologna airport. It is also possible to reach Ferrara from the “Marconi” with the Ferrara Bus&Fly service.
For those arriving from further afield, the plane is the quickest option. There are three main airports serving the area: the International Airport of Rimini and San Marino, located just a few minutes from the city; Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), the largest in the region and well connected by train and shuttle buses; and Forlì Airport Italy, which is constantly growing and increasingly connected to various national and international destinations.
Whatever your starting point, reaching Romagna for La Notte Rosa has never been easier!
