Bologna Centrale luggage storage

About Bologna Centrale

Bologna Centrale Station is the main train station in the city of Bologna in northern Italy. And as you might have guessed from its name, which translates to Bologna Central Station in English, this station is ideally located right in the heart of the city. The station was first opened in 1864, but Bologna Centrale Station has seen a lot of changes since then. One of the most notable was the 2009 opening of the high-speed line connecting Bologna to Florence, making it possible to travel from the heart of one of these cities to the other in not much more than half an hour.

Whether you're coming from Florence or arriving via Bologna Airport, Bologna Centrale luggage storage is the best way to make your trip easier. Bounce offers luggage storage facilities close to this bustling train station so you can start enjoying places like Basilica di San Petronio, Piazza Maggiore, Parco della Montagnola, and everything else this charming city has to offer without being weighed down by your things. There's a ton of choice with our locations, including at Via de' Carracci, 49/D, so use our app to find whichever one suits you best.

How to pay for luggage storage at Bologna Centrale

• Effortless booking: Using the Bounce app, you can quickly find and book a storage spot near Bologna Centrale. The simple process ensures you can arrange your baggage storage whether you’re planning ahead or already at the station.
• Secure payments: Transactions for our straightforward flat rate fee are handled securely through the app, so you won't have to worry about having euros on hand. You pay in advance online so that your bag drop-off is extra quick.
• Guaranteed availability: There's nothing worse than lugging heavy backpacks and suitcases all over the station only to find that all the storage lockers are completely full. With Bounce, paying in advance reserves your spot, so travelers can show up with confidence.

How luggage storage is different from train station lockers

• Cashless convenience: Unlike traditional luggage lockers, Bounce allows for cashless transactions through the app, providing ease and security.
• Size is rarely an issue: Our locations can store pretty much any size of bag or item. This includes sports equipment, musical instruments, and large or heavy bags. With lockers, you're severely limited by the space available.
• Lack of protection: As many luggage lockers are found in busy train station areas without security, a luggage storage service like Bounce always has staff onsite adding extra protection.
• Our partners are local businesses: Since we partner with local shops to provide convenient service ("servizio comodo" if you're Italian), you have locations right where you need them. Our storage spots are typically operational from 9 AM to 8 PM, but during your search, keep an eye out for ones open later and up to 24 hours a day. With Bounce, you have friendly staff to assist with your luggage. Why not ask them for a tip about their favorite restaurants?
