Trains, lotsa trains. Fast trains. Slow trains. Regional trains. Buses are across the street at the autozone. Lotsa of people and energy. Helpful staff. Buy a ticket and go. Well organized but kinda intimidating. I trained to San Marino ( Rimini), trained to Ferrari museum and bused to Lamborghini museum. It’s a great way to travel

Larger City train station with many trains coming and going each day. South side of the station is the traditional Stazione/main station and the North side is the termination point for the Marconi Express to the airport. The main station is not very large for as big of a city as Bologna is. A couple of snack bars, a news stand, and a Burger kind. Bus station biglietteria it to the left as you are facing the main station. Station has a typical layout with a large Arrivals/Departure board in the main lobby, a ticket window and a number of automated ticket kiosks. The main assistance point is in the center of the lobby. Binari are reached via the underground hallway that also connects both side of the station. Make sure to check out the memorial just outside the station to the people who lost their lives during the terrorist bombing on 2 August 1980.

For number of trains and number of travelers, this is the fifth railway station of Italy, it is in a strategic position for connection nord-south and west-east directions.

We arrived and departed from Bologna Central during a recent stay in the city, finding it convenient for travel to/from Bologna. It is a functional rail station connected to the city centre by bus, taxi or just walk 10-15 minutes to wherever you need to go. Rail tickets can be booked online, through mobile app or at the self-use ticket machines at the station. Departures and arrivals are clearly listed just upon entering the station, signage to the various platform is easy to follow. There are a few casual eateries, coffee and food shops at the station as well as across the street at the shopping arcade as well.

Bologna Station is the fifth Italian railway station in terms of traffic after Roman Termini, Milano Centrale, Turin's Porta Nuova and Florence's Santa Maria Novella. With a mind-blowing 700 trains per day! Traveling through northern Italy, a transfer here is almost inevitable. The station is large and convenient. There are many places where you can eat. Convenient navigation system. And only one clock at the station shows the same time at 10:25. They stopped on August 2, 1980, when the most terrible terrorist attack in the history of Italy, staged by neo-fascists, took place at the station.
