Airbnb-style platforms: Platforms like Stasher connect you with local shops or hotels who can store your bags safely. Stasher bookings include our guarantee, and prices start from €4.75 and in Bologna we have 27.
Airport or station left luggage facilities: Usually, most airports and some train stations do have some services. However, they're typically not well reviewed and about twice the price of Stasher.

Luggage Storage Near Bologna Centrale

The bus station provides no self-service lockers but has a left luggage facility at the Deposito KiPoint. Luggage deposit at the station costs around €14/day, and size restrictions may apply.
Luggage Storage Near the Bologna Airport
Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ)
Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport lies 7.5 kilometers from the city center. You can take a taxi or hop on a convenient Aerobus shuttle, which will drop you off at the Bologna Centrale train station.
Unfortunately, the left luggage service at Bologna's international airport has been temporarily suspended.
Luggage Storage Near Bologna’s Galleries and Museums
When touring Italy, most travelers only plan a day or two in Bologna, missing out on much of what the city has to offer, including world-class museums and galleries.
If you decide to take a closer look at Bologna's cultural scene, keep in mind that most museums, galleries, and historical sites prohibit entry with backpacks or suitcases. Unfortunately, there aren't many official luggage deposits in Bologna's cultural centers.
International Museum and Library of Music
Bologna’s Museo Internationale e Biblioteca della Musica has earned the city a spot on UNESCO’s list of Creative Music Cities. After Eleonora Sangunetti donated the Palace to the city in 1986, the building was faithfully restored, including an impressive collection of frescoes dating from Bologna’s Napoleonic and NeoClassical periods.
The founders created the museum to host the city’s incredible collection of musical artifacts and educate the public about Bologna’s rich musical heritage. While you’ll be able to examine antique instruments that have been played by masters such as Mozart and peruse iconic sheet music, you won’t be able to carry any large bags into the museum.
Palazzo d'Accursio
The 16th-century Palazzo d'Accursio serves as Bologna's town hall and hosts the City Art Museum. You’ll find the Municipal Art Collection on the top floor of the building.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to enter Bologna’s Town Hall with your luggage as there are no left-luggage services.
Museos di Palazzo Poggi
You’ll find the Bologna university’s museums at the Palazzo Poggi. Built in the 14th century, the museum houses an assortment of historical artifacts, including anatomical models, antique maps, miniature replicas of 17th-century ships, and a celebrated 1862 painting by Antonio Muzzi.
While you’re at the Palazzo, you can also check out the Observatory Museum and European Student Museum. But you'll have to leave any large bags outside.
Top Things To See In Bologna
Le Due Torri
Located in the Piazza di Porta Ravegnana, Bologna's twin towers were built by the prominent Garisenda and Asinelli families during the 11th century.
When you take in the panoramic view of the city from the Asinelli Tower, you'll immediately understand why one of Bologna's nicknames is La Rossa (The Red).
Out of all of Bologna’s 200 towers, the Asinelli Tower stands at over 97 meters and offers the most spectacular views of the city. But you won’t be able to climb the 498 narrow wooden steps with your luggage.
Piazza Maggiore
Several of the city's oldest buildings surround Bologna's main square, including the Palazzo del Podestà, Palazzo Comunale, Basilica de San Petronio, Palazzo dei Notai, and Palazzo dei Banchi.
Most of the buildings in the Piazza Maggiore date back to Medieval times, featuring numerous porticos and a few Renaissance-era additions. The Plaza was also the site of Bologna's old university.
The main plaza adjoins the smaller Plaza del Nettuno, where a bronze statue of the sea god Neptune overlooks the action. You'll also find a delightfully sculpted fountain where you can refill your water bottle.
While you can quench your thirst, Bologna Centrale luggage storage can be scarce.
Basilica San Petronio
Workers began construction of what would become Europe’s sixth largest church in 1390. The Basilica San Petronio boasts the world’s most gigantic sundial amongst its many treasures. The highlight of a visit is the Terrazza Panoramica, which offers the city’s best view of Le Due Torre.
However, the basilica also houses a controversial 15th-century work of art by Giovanni da Modena depicting Muhammad. Unfortunately, the fresco has made the church a target for terrorists, which caused the city of Bologna to protect the building with 24/7 armed guards.
Ghetto Ebraico
Situated near the university, the Ghetto Ebraico was initially a 16th-century Jewish settlement. These days, the area has become a popular spot for its hipster hangouts, unique shops, and impromptu murals. The Ebraico is also one of the most lively neighborhoods in the city for nightlife.
The Quadrilatero
The Quadrilatero, Bologna’s oldest market, announces itself with enormous arches. The cobblestoned market makes the perfect place to try Bologna’s signature culinary specialties, have a coffee, and do some people-watching.
The Finestrella di Via Piella
Bologna was built on marshland, and parts of the city are slowly sinking like its more famous sister, Venice. The only way to get a glimpse of the underground canal is through a small window around Via Piella, nicknamed the Finestrella alla Piccola Venezia. Some of Bologna’s most renowned restaurants also surround the Finestrella area.
Basilica Santo Stefano
Locals christened the plaza around Santo Stefano the "Square of the Seven Churches." The Santo Stefano complex is a maze of interlocking 11th-century churches, four of which remain intact. If you’re interested in Medieval art, architecture, or monastic life, head straight to the Basilica Santo Stefano.
You can tour the basilica, but there are no coat check rooms or left luggage deposits.
Alma Mater Studiorum
Bologna boasts the oldest university in Europe, the Alma Mater Studiorum. Founded in 1089, the Studiorum is still an active university with students roaming its halls. One of the university’s most popular tourist attractions is the somewhat macabre Archiginnasio Anatomical Theatre, where medical students dissected and studied human cadavers starting in the 15th century.
