'''Bologna''' is the capital city of the region [[Emilia-Romagna]] in [[Italy]]. It is situated between the Appennines and the river Po in the north of Italy. The city is home of the oldest university in the world. There are now over 100 000 students.

=== Towards all directions ===
There is a service station near Cantagallo. Take the bus #20 to ''Casalecchio'' (departs at ''Via dell Indipendenza''). There change the bus. Take the bus #89. Go to its last station called ''San Biagio''. There you walk 200 metres until you reach the fences of the service station.
Normally you can't enter There is a service station near Cantagallo. Take the service bus #20B to its last station"San Biagio". There are you walk 200 metres until you reach the fences you can't cross. But there is a little parking lot of the service station staff. You can ring Another option to get there is to take the bus #20 to ''Casalecchio'' (departs at ''Via dell Indipendenza''). There change the bus or take the bus #89 and maybe they will open go to its last station called ''San Biagio''. There youwalk 200 metres until you reach the fences of the service station. [If not, you get off two stations before the last station (at the service station on called San Biagio Micca; just after the other side of bridge over the highway there is a little hole in the fence), where than you can enterhave less to walk.]
Crossing the highway outside Normally you can't enter the service station . There are fences you can't cross. But there is a bit difficultlittle parking lot of the service station staff. You can try it under the highway through the building sitering there and maybe they will open you. If not, but it is muddy. It is easier to get off at the bus #89 one stop before, before it crosses service station on the highway. The name other side of the stop motorway there is: Casalecchio C.s. Allendea little hole in the fence, where you can enter.
 === Heading North (Genova, Milano, Parma etc.) === If you're heading north (Genova, Milano, Parma etc.), get off the bus at Casalecchio C.S. Allende. Cross the road, follow the path off the main road, then turn right - there's a parking lot and the entrance to the service station. It was closed when we came, but the staff was friendly and opened the door for us on condition that we wouldn't tell anyone that they did it. If you're heading south (Florence, Rome etc.), get off at San Biagio and go to the right along the motorway. There's some sort of park there, and in the end there's a place where you cross the railway and reach the fence of the service station. Go further to the right along the service station, and around the corner there're stairs going up to the service station with no fences. If you walk around the side of the fence you will find a small gate. It was open when we went, but anyway it is very low and easy to climb over. This takes you straight into the service area Crossing the motorway outside the service station is a bit difficult. You can try it under the motorway through the building site, but it is muddy. It is easier to get off the bus #89 one stop before, before it crosses the motorway. The name of the stop is: Casalecchio C.s. Allende. Once you are inside the service station, you can cross the highway motorway easily. Enter the building and go up on the stairs to the restaurant. Now go down on the other side of the highwaymotorway. Attention: You are not able to cross the highway motorway in the morning, because the restaurant is closed. But if you have luck, the barmen will help you.
=== North towards [[Ferrara]], [[Padova]] and [[Venice]] on A13 ===
You have to get to the first service area on the highway motorway about 20 kms from the centre. It is called ''Castel Bentivoglio''. There is a bus stop close by, called ''Bentivoglio Zona industriale Barche'' (often abbreviated like ''Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche''). Some of the bus lines only go few times a day, mainly in the morning and evening, taking (very helpful) workers to work and back home. Easiest is to take #376 or #377 446 to Soletto which go goes directly from the Bologna central bus station 4-6 times a day . It takes 30min (timetable [http://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi/linee/pdf/atc_01376.pdf]). You can also use the route planner of the Bologna public transport company here: [http://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi/planner/plannerEN.asp]. For the arrival town, put ''Bentivoglio'', for the stop: ''Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche''.
From the bus stop, you take the road parallel to the highwaymotorway. You pass some factories, the highway motorway should be behind them. After 500 m there is a crossroad to the right. The service area is just at the end of it. There is a fence, but I had no problem of getting in, the door was open. If it is closed, you can try to ring or ask for the help of the 'locals'.
Personal experience === Going to and from an anonymous Hitchwiki contributor:the Airport ===:''I got Actually you are supposed to take the BLQ Airport Express bus to and from the Airport towards Bologna main station. But it costs 5 Euros, which is a ride easily lot compared to any normal bus ticket, which costs you just 1 Euro. So, instead of taking the Express bus, take buses #91 and #81 from here until Padovathe main station and get off at stop "Birra". It is the last urban area before you cross the motorway to get to the airport.Obtain the 1€ ticket in advance @ the tabac as you may not do it while entering the bus #91, #81. The people working There is also a supermarket "Conad" right next to the stop & small fenced park allowing you to rest in a shade. To get to the [[petrol station]] didn't like that I was asking drivers Airport will take you 15 minutes by foot from there, so I was at pavements are provided the whole way. Just follow the direction the exit holding a [[sign]]bus goes and you cannot miss it. The day before I tried Stick to the left side of the other petrol station described above in road. To get there FROM the all directions sectionairport is quite easy if you have a map, but if you do not you may get it was free at the airport tourist information (together with may other useful info end even exact map of the region of Emilia-Romania). From the arrival hall head straight ahead. Cross the round-about with a complete failure, no one going on city center marks visible and follow it. Then the pavement path turns right and leads you under the motorway bridge. from there you may already some buildings 100 m. away. Go towards them. The mentioned busses run from the A13morning until 8 p.m.'' == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
