How to book a taxi in Aquileia
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of UD
To book a taxi in Aquileia, call the radio taxi at 337 540947. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Aquileia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological centers in northern Italy, is a town of around 3,300 inhabitants that does not have its own radio-taxi dispatch: to get around by chauffeur-driven hire car, it's best to contact operators from nearby towns. The most convenient option is Cervignano del Friuli, about 6 km away, where an NCC service is available by phone booking. For those arriving at or departing from Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport in Ronchi dei Legionari (about 17 km away), the Consorzio Taxi Radio Aeroporto FVG is active instead, with cars waiting in front of the arrivals area. Alternatively, the "Cervignano-Aquileia-Grado" railway station is connected to the center of Aquileia by SAF/APT local buses, and in summer a seasonal service also links Grado to Aquileia. The main ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi and similar) do not cover the area, so for a taxi or NCC it's advisable to call a few hours in advance, especially on weekends during peak tourist season.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Friuli Venezia Giulia – Trieste (Ronchi dei Legionari) (TRS) · ~17 km from the center
There is no published fixed fare for the airport-Aquileia ride: the Consorzio Taxi Radio Aeroporto FVG (0481 778000) applies the metered provincial fare, so it's best to ask for an estimate when booking.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)

Practical tips
- Book your taxi/NCC by phone at least 2-3 hours in advance, especially on summer weekends and during events at the Basilica or the Museo Archeologico Nazionale.
- For transfers from FVG Airport in Ronchi dei Legionari, call the Consorzio Taxi Radio Aeroporto FVG (0481 778000) and ask for an estimate: there is no published fixed fare for Aquileia.
- If you arrive by train at the Cervignano-Aquileia-Grado station, also consider the SAF/APT bus to the center: outside the tourist season it can be quicker to find than a taxi.
- In summer a seasonal bus service connects Grado to Aquileia: a useful alternative to a taxi for those staying on the coast who want to visit the Basilica and Foro Romano in a day.
- The paid car park on via Gemina, near the archaeological area, has hourly rates: a taxi or NCC avoids the parking problem on the busiest tourist days.
