Bologna airport (BLQ) and the Motor Valley

Italy's most underrated arrival point — and the gateway to Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani and the great food estates of Emilia-Romagna.

Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi airport is, for a certain kind of traveller, the most useful arrival point in northern Italy. It is well-connected, rarely congested, fifteen minutes from the city centre, and within an hour's drive of Modena, Maranello, Parma and the heart of the Motor Valley.

AYR Concierge arranges Bologna transfers with chauffeurs holding meet-and-greet credentials inside the terminal. The vehicle leaves the curb within fifteen minutes of arrival. From BLQ to the centre is fifteen minutes; to Maranello is one hour; to Modena is thirty minutes; to Parma is one hour and ten.

For travellers visiting the Ferrari factory, the Lamborghini museum or the Pagani atelier, the chauffeur typically stays with the party for the day — collecting from the hotel, waiting through the factory tour, driving to a country lunch at a balsamic estate or a Parmigiano-Reggiano dairy, and returning in the evening. The V-Class is the standard vehicle.

Onward transfers to Florence, Venice or Milan are arranged in the same vehicle with the same chauffeur.
