Traveling by car is easy, the city of Bologna is served by several highways.
The city is at the junction of the A1, A14 and A13 highways, and so is easily accessible from anywhere in Italy. The "Tangenziale" is a high traffic road that runs on the northern ring of the city (beware of the peak hours!).
