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.
