Arriving at Venezia Santa Lucia Station was one of the highlights of my trip to Italy. The moment…read moreyou step outside the station, you're greeted by one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen. Seeing a city built entirely on water is something you truly have to experience in person. I absolutely fell in love with Venice. The historic architecture, charming canals, colorful boats, and beautiful bridges make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Everywhere you look, there's history, culture, and incredible scenery. Watching the boats glide through the canals while people go about their daily lives is simply mesmerizing. We spent time just relaxing along the water, taking in the views, and enjoying the atmosphere. It was peaceful, beautiful, and unlike anywhere else I've ever visited. The restaurants, cafés, and waterfront views only added to the experience. Out of all the places I visited in Italy, Venice was by far my favorite. As someone who loves history and historic architecture, this city exceeded every expectation. I could easily spend days wandering its streets and canals. It's a destination I would absolutely return to and highly recommend to anyone visiting Italy.

I also sat outside of the station appreciating the water, the views, people watching, and I came to the realization of how busy this area is. There's a constant flow of people from all over the world coming into Venice and leaving Venice. It is a must do. I used this station last year to take the train to Florence and it was an excellent ride.

Unless, that is if the workers decide to go on strike for the day. Then you'd better have a backup plan. This station has a bookstore and a small store where you can buy lottery tickets, cards, small trinkets, and snacks. There's also a combination eatery with a sandwich shop and a McDonalds inside. One word of warning.... Many of the stations charge for you to enter the bathroom. This one is .50euro. Others are 1euro. You can buy your tickets ahead of time at the little convenient stores around town or at the machines at the station. I prefer the station machines because they have English and are less confusing. Taking trains throughout Italy is a breeze and if you know what you are doing it's pretty cheap. So, get on a train and go see something interesting.

Kind of a small station for such a busy city. Our train pulled in from Firenze at around 10 pm, but…read morethere were quite a few people milling about at that time. We exited the station towards the taxi stand, by the time we got there the two cars that had been waiting got fares and sped away. We stood in the queue for a few minutes, hoping a car would pull up, and after several minutes, one did. By then we had a line behind us, of travelers also waiting for a ride into the city. Note, they did have quite a few of the rental scooters, which I briefly considered before realizing a) I am too old and was too tipsy to work one of those; 2) we weren't familiar with Italian driving laws and iii) we had no idea where we were going, and navigating a new city at night while on top of a rental scooter just seemed like a terrible idea. The station was much busier the next day, when we returned for our trip back to Firenze. They have a few benches along the tracks, but not enough for every traveler waiting for a train. Also, huge kudos to the station worker who sought us out as we waiting at the track for our train. There had apparently been an announcement that the train we were waiting for had been moved to another track, which we either missed completely or heard and didn't understand. Thanks to her we caught our train and made it back to Firenze on time.

It did not appear that large from the front of the terminal but after you have your tickets and start going through the platforms, you'll notice how large the station actually is. It's not overly complex and hard to navigate. It has multi levels downward-we went down two or three escalators to get to our platform for our train to Torin. Getting your tickets is easy: 1) you can purchase them on the app 2) the internet 3) and the machines inside the terminal. Since we took an intracity train, we did not see any entry kiosks to pay with your phone. We purchased our tickets online. Just check your departure time, get the platform number from the monitors, and proceed to the platform. After that, you will soon be on your train and off to your destination!!

We were in…read moreBologna for a day - for a walking food tour, let's be so real - and took a regional train from Verona. And maybe it's unfair for me to compare this station to Verona, or Florence, or even Rome, but that's human nature, isn't it? While it has a lot of modern-looking finishes and several places for one to sit, on the day we were there the station gave off an overall vibe of dinginess and over-crowdedness. That "at capacity" feeling was at its worst that evening, when every bench, chair, open floor space was occupied by a human, waiting to find out where they should go to catch their train out. We were lucky to find an empty table at one of the cafes, after purchasing some drinks and snacks to tide us over for the evening. We weren't lucky enough to get seats with a view to the departures board, though, so we had to take turns walking over to the boards to see if our platform informaiton had been updated. And friends, I'm so glad we left as soon as the platform information populated because whooo, was it ever a trek from where we were to where we needed to be! I hadn't realized until that moment exactly how big a station Bologna Centrale was.
