Luggage storage near coach station
by Airpunk
If you need to store your luggage, you can do that in this photo shop located at the southeastern end of the bus terminal. For a small fee, you can get rid of your heavy bag for some time. It will be even secured with a heavy chain and a lock. Keep your national ID-card or your passport ready as they will ask you for that.
There was no english epaking staff in this shop (indeed, there aren't that many english-speaking people in Italy comapred to other western euroepan countries). But they were all freidnly and helpful and we found a base of communication somewhere between spanish and my non-existant Italian. We even had a small conversation about Hamburg, as one of the employees visited my home town a couple of years ago. After my spontaneous decision to spend a couple of hours in Bologna, I didn't want to carry my backpack for the time being there. Although I expected some lockers, either at the train station or at the coach station, I was happy to leave by bag at this shop. It gave me the first idea of being back in Italy.

Forlì / Bologna-Forlì airport
by Airpunk
Although Bologna has its own airport, Forlì (sometimes also called Bologna-Forlì) may be considered as a cheaper alternative. Ryanair uses Bologna/Forlì airport for flights to London/Stansted and Frankfurt/Hahn and will commence services to Girona/Barcelona in spring of 2007. Also, Belle Air from Albania and Windjet (Sicily as well as a some occassionally served european destinations) use this airport.
There is a bus running several times a day from Forlì airport to Bologna's coach station which will take you 10 Euros. However, there's a cheaper alternative: Use the local bus from Forlì airport (station is close to the departure hall). The trip to the city center will costs you only 80 cents. The bus (line 2) will leave you at Piazzale della Vittoria, which is within walking distance (500 m) of the train station. A train ticket to Bologna can be bought at the vending machines for just 3,80.
Anyway, if you want to use the 10EUR bus (which is the more comfortable way), check the webpage below for the timetable.
Greek taste
by Azhut about PARTENONE TAVERNA
There are almost tree dishes that I loved very much: IMAM, MOUSSAKA' and PITA. This way to prepare dishes is very similar to italian taste. They cook much vegetables, and they use potatoes, onions and egg-plants that I love!!
Pita is similar to Italian piadina, bread without yeast. IMAM is composed by egg-plants, onions and tomatoes, very good! MOUSSAKA' is similar to Italian melanzane alla parmigiana, with tomatoes, parmigian cheese, egg-plants, meat sauce (rag?), there is only potatoes in addition, but it's very very good, don't forget to try it!
