Padova Travel Forum

Hi VTers,

Does anyone know if there is a locker service at the train station there in Padova and how much it costs? I have been trying to search for info online and I cant get specific info about it.

Thanks.

P.S. the hop-on-hop-off city tour bus does not operate during winter, does it?

First, there are usually no lockers in Italy, due to a series of bombings in the 1970s...luggage storage at train stations is almost always a manned desk/room...your luggage MAY be subject to a search before acceptance.

Second, the Trenitalia website reports that there ARE "Left Luggage" services (Deposito Bagagli) at the station in Padova, as befits a large and busy station.

Third, because the Padova station is not one of the 13 largest (which do have their own website), I can't directly find the rate either; however, at the 13 largest stations in Italy, the rates are pretty consistently 3.80 euro for the first 5 hours, 0.60 euro for each additional hour from the 6th to the 12th, and 0.20 euro for each hour after the 12th (per piece, of course). I would expect the rates at Padova to be in that ballpark...

Sorry, I don't know about a hop-on/hop-ff bus in Padova...

Bill

Padua is not a large town, so I don't recommend to take the hop-off bus if it runs in the winter.

oks, thanks for the inputs :) ive also seen the 'left luggage' rates for the larger train stations, just want to make sure :D

was thinking of considering the bus tour since we might only have less than a full day to visit padova, but anyway, wouldnt be as much fun as it would be in warmer days anyway :D

thanks again.

cheers,
