Can I find my way in the dark in Bologna?

Question

I will arrive at Bologna airport after 10PM. I need to go to Via Punta which appears to be 5 or 10 minutes away. Will I have problems finding my way at night on these highways and streets? I hope to know enough Italian by then (October) to be able to understand the signs.

Answer 1

I've been to Bologna and I took a bus to the train station from the airport. I had no idea where I was until I actually arrived where I needed to go. You will be driving or walking, and in the dark? Not sure if there are many one way streets that could throw you off track. If you are in a rental car maybe you will have GPS (if Europe has it). It is a city with a compact center so if it is only 5-10 minutes maybe it won't be so difficult to find. Buona fortuna!!

Answer 2

The airport is very close to the centre of town and it may be worth it to take a taxi (as it won't cost you too much)....It may save the hassle of worrying about it.

There is a bus that does a route from the Airport into town (as my hotel was right in the centre of Bologna and I had to get to the airport quite early in the morning...and it literally went right outside my hotel....this may be an option and they should be able to help you in the airport itself...there should be a bus route and you could ask the driver to help you (as there should be less people on at night)....
