Bologna: where to leave bags across the city
If you're passing through Bologna and your rental won't hold a bag until check-in, there are practical places to drop one — though the city's main museums and churches are stricter than its transport hubs. Bologna sits at a crossroads for rail and road travel across northern Italy, so travellers often arrive with more than they want to carry around Piazza Maggiore or the Basilica di San Petronio.
Bologna Centrale has a staffed left-luggage desk, while the bus station has lockers, but the airport's own storage is currently suspended. Bologna is also a key agricultural, industrial, financial, and transport hub, so the flow of visitors with luggage is constant. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations across Bologna.
Some top Stasher locations in Bologna include:
- Local shop, 2-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore · rated 5/5 (over 20 reviews)
- Local shop, 5-minute walk from Bologna Centrale · rated 5/5 (over 30 reviews)
Coverage is densest around Bologna Centrale. Hosts include local shops. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to €12,000. Stasher storage in Bologna can be booked through the website or app.

Luggage storage at the station, airport and bus station
Bologna Centrale has a staffed left-luggage desk in the west concourse by platform 7, open every day of the year.
The bus station's automatic lockers sit in the new hall near the station master's office and are accessible around the clock, seven days a week. Bologna Airport doesn't have an operational luggage storage facility right now, as its own service is temporarily suspended — so plan around that before heading out to the terminal. A standard one-way ticket costs €12.80. The Marconi Express runs every day from 5:40 am to midnight, with up to 8 departures per hour in each direction at peak times.
Getting around Bologna with luggage
TPER buses let you carry luggage smaller than 55x40x20 cm free of charge. Larger pieces up to 40x60x80 cm need their own ticket, capped at two per passenger. If you're taking the Marconi Express, the station terminal sits in the atrium on Via de' Carracci, while the airport end connects to the terminal building by a pedestrian walkway. There's also an intermediate stop serving the Lazzaretto district between the airport and Bologna Centrale.
Bag rules at Bologna's museums, churches and libraries
The Pinacoteca Nazionale requires backpacks, bags and umbrellas to be left in its free ground-floor cloakroom before you enter the exhibition spaces. The Museo Civico Archeologico has a cloakroom by the entrance for bags and backpacks, but it won't accept large suitcases or parcels. At the Museo della storia di Bologna in Palazzo Pepoli, bulky bags and backpacks are barred from the halls and must be left in designated spaces.
The Basilica di San Petronio doesn't allow suitcases or luggage inside at all. The Biblioteca dell'Archiginnasio goes further — no bags or backpacks of any size, with lockers available in a guarded cloakroom area.
