The new High-Speed Station in Bologna is an underground marvel designed by Isozaki and Maffei. It's like a hidden gem beneath the city, with three levels of coolness: trains zooming on the bottom level, services and shops in the middle, and a kiss-and-ride tunnel for cars on top. The station is all about glass, LED lights, and futuristic vibes, making it a must-see stop for any train enthusiast or architecture lover passing through Bologna.

Whether you’re coming by train or plane, you’ll end up there anyway (Marconi Express, better known as People Mover, or a bus - when the mover doesn’t work - will all take you there). The only way to avoid it is if you’re coming by car but beware of the Limited Traffic Zone (often marked as ZTL) - the area covering most of the historic center where you can’t enter by car.
