Buses to and from Brescia Airport (VBS)
Brescia Airport is located in northern Italy, approximately 20 km from the city centre of Brescia, and around 60 km from Verona, which is a very popular city for tourism. The airport is also known as Montichiari Airport, or Gabriele d’Annunzio Airport, after a famous Italian poet and nationalist. Brescia Airport is smaller than its Verona Villafranca Airport counterpart, handling just 200,000 passengers per year. The low-cost airline company of Ryanair handles most flights from the airport.

The bus services at Brescia Airport are easy to find. There is just one passenger terminal at the airport, and the buses depart from directly outside the terminal.

Once you have collected your baggage and are in the arrivals hall, there is an office to the right that sells bus tickets. It does have a sign marking it as the shuttle bus ticket office. There is usually a queue for tickets, as everyone who will be travelling by bus that has just come off the flight will need to buy a ticket. The buses do however wait until all the passengers have bought their bus tickets and have arrived at the bus stop.
There are two main bus services operating from Brescia Airport, one of which travels to the Brescia bus and train station, or ‘Brescia Autostazione’, in the Italian language. This bus leaves from the bus stop marked as ‘Bus to Brescia’ at the airport. The second bus service travels to Verona.
