Getting around
By car: the flat is outside the historic-centre limited traffic zone (ZTL, active every day 7 am-8 pm), so you can come and go without permits. Free street parking is usually easy to find nearby. For the Fair, use ring-road exits 7 and 8. By bike: shared e-bikes are easy to find in the area and handy for the Fair too, avoiding paid parking. By bike the Fair is about 20 minutes away on a flat route. The centre is about 20 minutes by bike or 30 by bus (lines 90 and 11B). By bus, Sant’Orsola Hospital is about 20 minutes on the direct 27A line, Rizzoli about 45-50 minutes with one change. The Gessi Bolognesi park, with trails and caves, is a few kilometres away by car or bike.
