Fidenza Village by train from Milan, Parma and Bologna

Fidenza sits on the main railway line between Milan and Bologna, so the train is the flexible way to the Village: you choose when you arrive and when you leave. The last stretch is a short shuttle from the station.

Booking choice: The Shopping Express from Milan, from $11 per person. Check dates Compare the options below

Unlike the Shopping Express coach, which runs only from Milan and only at fixed times, trains reach Fidenza from Milan, Parma, Bologna and Piacenza through the day. From Fidenza station, a shuttle bus runs to the Village in about 10 minutes.

Below: journey times from each city, the station shuttle and what we could not confirm about it, taxis, the rail partner offer, and the car option with free parking.

The quick answer

Take a train to Fidenza station, then the shuttle to the Village, about 10 minutes. On Trainline's figures, Parma to Fidenza takes about 25 minutes on average (22 km), Piacenza also about 25 minutes, Milano Centrale about 1 hour to 1 hour 40 minutes, and Bologna from 1 hour 3 minutes on the fastest trains. We could not confirm the shuttle's timetable or fare, so check them before you travel. By car, leave the A1 at Fidenza-Salsomaggiore Terme; parking is free.

Can you get to Fidenza Village by train?

Yes: take a train to Fidenza station, on the Milan to Bologna main line, then the shuttle bus to the Village, about 10 minutes.

Fidenza is a rail junction: besides the main line through Piacenza and Parma, local lines run toward Salsomaggiore Terme and Cremona. The Village is not next to the station, so plan on the shuttle, a pre-booked car or a taxi for the last stretch.

How long is the train to Fidenza?

About 25 minutes from Parma or Piacenza, about 1 hour to 1 hour 40 minutes from Milan, and about 1 to 2 hours from Bologna, depending on the train.

Trainline shows from-prices of about 3 pounds from Parma, about 4 pounds from Piacenza and about 10 pounds from Bologna. These are the cheapest fares it finds, often for booking ahead, not walk-up prices. Add the station shuttle, whose fare we could not confirm.

From Milan, the Village's own coach costs about the same as the train and stops at the Village.

Is there a train offer for Fidenza Village?

The Village has run a partner offer for Trenitalia and TPER Freccia tickets: a gift card worth 10% of the ticket, up to EUR 100, plus an extra 10% at participating boutiques. When we checked, the page showed an end date of 23 April, so check whether it is running.

To use it, you register for the Village's membership and show your Freccia ticket at The Concierge. The offer names Freccia tickets only, so a regional ticket may not count. Validity dates change from one campaign to the next.

Can you drive to Fidenza Village?

Yes: take the A1 motorway to the Fidenza-Salsomaggiore Terme exit. Parking is free, and there are free EV charging points.

The address is Via Federico Fellini 1, Fidenza. The Village describes itself as halfway between Milan and Bologna, about 105 km from Milan and about an hour by car. A car makes it easy to add Salsomaggiore Terme, about 12 km from the Fidenza motorway exit, or the Labirinto della Masone at Fontanellato: see around Fidenza.

Train, coach or car: which is best?

From Milan without a car, the coach is simplest; from Parma, Piacenza or Bologna, the train; to combine the Village with nearby towns, a car.

  • Coach: Milan only, 9:45 out and 17:00 back, EUR 10; see Milan to Fidenza Village.
  • Train: any time of day, from several cities, but check the shuttle and the last train back; the Village usually stays open until 20:00.
  • Car: free parking and the freedom to add a spa, a maze or a cathedral.

With a car, add the world's largest bamboo maze at Fontanellato, between Fidenza and Parma.
