This StashPoint is very well marked and close to the city centre. It is a proper luggage storage facility, not some restaurant or bistro, which I appreciated the most.
- Nicolas
Drop off point was on the other side of the train terminal than the one where we got off. Not a big deal, just had to use the street to walk around to other side
- Cristiano
Good service, very polite and played by the rules, makes no exceptions, which I understood. Must reserve by volumes, a large luggage item does not allow 2 small for instance.
- David
The service was good and i would use again. The instructions to find it could be better as I had a little difficulty in find it, but for others it is actually located on Platform 1
- Lulu
Easy to find location and staff was friendly. Although it was mentioned on website that photo of luggage would be taken, it was not the case on site. But I took the liberty to take the photo myself.
- Kathy
Our hosts were very friendly and professional. They took care of us immediately and made us feel secure about leaving our bags with them.
- Pooja
So easy to drop off. Very reliable and trustworthy. And obviously very easy booking process. We will definitely use this for all our trips!
- Kim Laura
Very friendly and helping host. Would store my luggage there again at any time. The only thing, it wasn't so easy to find the locker in bologna in the first place. An information that you can find it at the tourist information would be useful
- Gwen
Our host was a bike shop, and they were very friendly and courteous. We also really enjoyed the shop itself.

Storing bags at Bologna Centrale and the airport
Stasher has 2 luggage-storage points near Bologna Centrale, providing an alternative for arrivals by train. The official left-luggage service at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is currently suspended, so arriving flyers need another option. At the station, KiPoint charges €6.00 for the first 4 hours per bag and opens daily from 7am to 9pm.
The Marconi Express connects Bologna Centrale with the airport in a 7-minute journey. Its airport station is reached from the terminal’s first floor via a covered pedestrian walkway.
The airport service’s other details are historical, not current. When operational, it accepted bags up to 60x50x35cm and held unclaimed items for 120 days. These limits describe the suspended airport facility, not the alternative near Bologna Centrale.
Bag-free sightseeing in Bologna's historic centre
A central Stasher point is the reliable option for visiting Bologna’s historic sights with no luggage in tow. The Archaeological Museum refuses bags, backpacks, umbrellas and cumbersome objects, while its cloakroom cannot take large suitcases, bags or parcels. At the Pinacoteca Nazionale, backpacks and bags larger than 40 x 40 x 20cm are barred from the galleries and must be left at the entrance.
Suitcases and luggage are not permitted inside the Basilica di San Petronio. Palazzo Pepoli’s Museum of the History of Bologna also excludes large bags and backpacks. The Archiginnasio library is stricter still: bags, even small backpacks, sacks and computer cases are not allowed. These rules make a central luggage-storage point more dependable than relying on each sight’s entrance arrangements.
Evening festivals and late collection in Bologna
Stasher has 3 points in Bologna that stay open late, supporting earlier bag drop-off and collection after evening performances. The (s)Nodi Festival of Unusual Music runs in Bologna from 21 July to 8 September 2026, making late-opening luggage storage useful throughout its programme. Festival Respighi Bologna follows from 21 September to 21 October 2026, extending the same late-collection option to evening performances during that festival.
Booking, bag sizes and the Stasher Guarantee
Stasher luggage storage in Bologna is available as an online reservation with a trusted local shop or hotel, or as a reservation for a self-service smart locker. In either setting, the bag is kept safely out of sight until collection. There are no Stasher limits on bag size or weight, so luggage is not restricted by either measurement. Every booking in Bologna is covered by the Stasher Guarantee, up to €12,000 per booking. Before drop-off, a cancelled booking can receive either a 50% refund or a 100% coupon.
