Luggage storage at Bologna Centrale

Buses are the only public transport once you leave the station, since Bologna has no metro. The high-speed platforms are step-free from street level, which helps if you are wheeling something heavy.

Getting around with luggage

The walk from Bologna Centrale to Piazza Maggiore takes a flat 15 to 20 minutes along Via dell'Indipendenza, roughly 1.2 to 1.5 km, so wheeling a suitcase is genuinely manageable. If you'd rather not walk, a standard TPER city bus ticket costs 2,30 € and stays valid for 75 minutes from validation. There's no underground metro in Bologna, so buses are the only public transport option for getting around with bags.

Station access and facilities

Bologna Centrale is spread across multiple levels, with passenger services and shops concentrated on the ground floor. The high-speed AV section gives step-free access to platforms 16 through 19 via elevators, which helps if you're managing luggage on wheels. The Marconi Express stations serving the airport are also barrier-free, with elevators and level boarding between platforms and vehicles. The station doubles as a major bus interchange for urban, suburban, and interurban TPER routes, so connections to the wider region start here.
