Thank you Julia.
We are flying in to Bologna. Whats the easiest way to get to Cervia from the airport?
I am still trying to figure out if renting a car would be more convenient. We are planning to go to Venice for a day or two and then Rome.
Also, we are looking to rent an apartment so if you know anyone renting, please let me know.
Thank you for your help!
From the airport there is a bus to the train station (6 euro) that takes about 20 minutes.
To look at train schedules you can go here:
http://www.trenitalia.com/tcom-en You're leaving from BOLOGNA CENTRALE and your destination is CERVIA - MILANO MARITTIMA
There's a train leaving every hour until 8:00 pm - you'll have one train change in Ravenna. Cost varies from 10 to 20 euro depending on what train you choose but with this route they all take around 2 hours to get to Cervia.
Cervia to Venice = 3 hrs and two train changes for 25 to 45 euro
Venice to Rome = 3 hrs and no train change for 42 to 70 euro
By the way, I saw in the comments that you are renting a bike - If you were bringing your own I would definitely choose a car but if you don't "need" a car , the train is a much better choice. No worrying about crazy Italian drivers, the very expensive freeways (and lines to pay at) and the 4 x what it costs to fill up a tank of gas in the States .
For your apartment in Cervia I looked on AirBnB and they have plenty of choices for apartments right in the center of town so I think that's where you can go to look for your abode.
