Getting around Bellinzona
Getting around Bellinzona is easy but choices vary in convenience and cost; here are the main options and how they compare to GetTransfer.
Public Transport in Bellinzona
Local buses and regional trains connect the city and surrounding valleys; a single bus ride within the city typically costs around CHF 2.50, while regional train fares to nearby towns start from CHF 4–8 depending on distance. Public transport is economical and frequent, but schedules may not align with early flights or late arrivals, and you might struggle with luggage or tight connections.
Car Rentals in Bellinzona
Car rental gives you freedom to explore at your own pace, with daily rates for economy cars commonly beginning around CHF 40–60 plus fuel and insurance. Renting suits longer self-driven trips but carries extra responsibilities: navigation, parking fees and the risk of unexpected charges, which makes pre-booked door-to-door transfers a less stressful alternative for many travellers.
Taxi in Bellinzona
Metered street taxis operate in Bellinzona with typical short-ride fares starting near CHF 6–10 within the city and higher rates at night or on holidays. GetTransfer essentially provides taxi services in Bellinzona and improves upon them by letting you book in advance, select the exact vehicle type and see the fare before confirming. Drivers on GetTransfer present verified licenses and profile details, so you know who will meet you at the station or airport. The platform helps avoid surprise price hikes and long waits, and it offers options from cheap cabs to private seater vehicles and limousines for special occasions. Compared with calling a local cab on the spot, GetTransfer adds transparency, choice and the convenience of an app and web booking tailored to tourists.

Heading south toward Lake Maggiore, panoramas open to broad water vistas framed by alpine foothills; trips east toward the valleys reveal stone villages and chestnut forests rustling along narrow lanes.
