Arrivals

Concerning the journey to Bertinoro, for those of you who come from abroad, the most convenient airport is Bologna (BLQ). 

From Bologna airport, you should go to Bologna Central Station (Stazione Centrale) by high-speed shuttle train Marconi Express or taxi. 

From the station, you can catch a regional train towards Rimini and get off at Forlì.

To reach the Congress Centre in Bertinoro, we are organizing free shuttle buses from Forlì train station in the morning of the 12th at 11.35 am and at 1.00 pm.  

For those who are fit and concerned about carbon footprint, please go to Forlimpopoli-Bertinoro Station (trains are direct from Bologna Station but not so frequent as those going to Forlì). The shuttle bus from Forlì makes a small detour to Forlimpopoli station to pick up your luggage and you can walk to the Rocca. It is 6.6 km, some of it is a steep hill, but it is beautiful walk. For the route, see this link: route from the station to the rocca

If you arrive at Forlimpopoli-Bertinoro, you will have to call the following number to book a taxi: +39 0543 31111. Please note that, in this case, the taxi will come from Forlì and it will take 15 minutes to arrive  at Forlimpopoli station.
