Bolzano is on the crossroads between Northern and Southern Europe. It is well-connected, possessing a small international airport and forming a major hub of the railway system in Central Alps.
ABD Airport Bolzano Dolomites (BZO) is some 5 km outside Bolzano city centre, to the south east. At the moment there are no direct transport links with the city apart from taxis. Buses 10A and 10B stop 1 km north of the terminal. A rapid-transit system is planned, which will connect the airport to the city centre.
By plane
ABD Airport Bolzano Dolomites (BZO), recently expanded, has multiple domestic and international charter connections. From Munich travellers can go to Innsbruck or Verona and then take a train or a bus or from Rome Bolzano can be reached by air.
Since the decision (2008) to downsize Milan Malpensa in order to focus on Rome Fiumicino, no flights from/to Milan have been available. Air Alps, which operates flights for Alitalia, was also affected but the number of flights from/to Rome increased. The Bolzano airport company is planning scheduled flights from/to other important hubs in Europe (notably Frankfurt am Main and Vienna).
The terminal is to be expanded. It is currently quite small but there is a snack bar, three car-rental companies and a ticket information point.
