Reggio Emilia is well connected by air, rail and road.
By air
Bologna airport is the closest to Reggio Emilia. From there take the BLQ bus to Bologna train station (about 25 mins; buses every 15 mins). There are no direct buses from the airport to Reggio Emilia.
Other convenient airports are Milan, Verona, and Parma. From Milan Malpensa and Linate take a bus to the train station. Don't take the train from Malpensa, as it doesn't reach the central train station.
Bergamo Orio al Serio is a major hub for low-cost flights: from there take a bus to Milan Central station (1h20’) and then a train to Reggio Emilia.
By train
Reggio Emilia can easily be reached from any major Italian city. Routes, timetables and fares can be found on www.ferroviedellostato.it.
Don’t forget to stamp your ticket in the small yellow machines scattered in the station before boarding, and make sure to travel on the very train you have bought the ticket for: if you take another train on the same line, the fare may be different.
By road
Reggio Emilia is on the A1, Italy’s main motorway, linking the city to major routes across the country. From the motorway exit follow the signs to the city centre, and leave your car at ‘Parcheggio Zucchi’, which is right under the University building.
Getting to the conference venue

Walking
Reaching the University from the train station is easy. Use the main exit at the front in the ticket office hall (disregard the secondary exit on the back, leading to a parking lot). Right outside of the station take Via Eritrea on your right. Keep walking straight ahead for about 10 minutes until you reach a big park. Cross it keeping to the right of the theatre building and you’ll find Via Allegri and the big red university building on your right.
By taxi
The taxi station is just outside the railway station. A radio taxi service is available (+39) 0522-452545.
