Prima Vista Lounge
★3.5(1,496 reviews)BLQ · Main Terminal · landside
Bologna's most flexible lounge — Priority Pass, DragonPass, walk-in, with showers and fast-track.
The Prima Vista Lounge is the independent lounge at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, located landside in the main terminal beside the fast-track security lane and reached via the glass lift to the first floor. It has the broadest access of any Bologna lounge: Priority Pass and DragonPass members, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire passengers travelling in eligible cabins, and walk-in guests who buy a day pass. The space is contemporary and calm, with sleek modern furnishings, warm lighting and distinct zones for relaxing, working and dining. It carries the fuller offer of Bologna's two lounges — hot and cold food, snacks, fruit, champagne and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks — alongside shower facilities, a conference room, baby-changing facilities, printing, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. A walk-in pass also includes use of the adjacent fast-track security lane. A maximum stay of around three hours applies, and because the lounge is landside, leave time to clear security afterwards.
Crowding · Moderate at peak, rarely overcrowded
A solid spot to work before a flight, with reliable free Wi-Fi, power near most seats, a conference room and printing. Work surfaces are on the small side and there are no dedicated phone booths, but the quiet atmosphere makes it fine for focused work and video calls.

Prima Vista is the fuller of Bologna's two lounges for food, with hot and cold dishes, snacks, fruit and Italian-inspired plates rather than just nibbles. Freshly made pasta is the standout. The bar runs from soft drinks to house wine and beer through to champagne, with premium drinks available to buy.
