Turin Porta Nuova Central

Turin Porta Nuova Train Station (IATA:TPY) is the main railway station in Turin, northern Italy. It is the third busiest passenger station after Roma Termini and central Milan, with approximately 192,000 trips per day, 70 million passengers per year and a total of approximately 350 trains per day. Porta Nuova is a destination and the train is perpendicular to the facade. The station is located at Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, just in front of Carlo Felice Square (on the south side of the city centre). The train between Turin and Milan starts or ends at the train station, including the use of the Turin-Milan high-speed rail service. The metro station is part of the Metropolitana di Torino line 1 and was recently built under the station building. The main building of Torina Porta Nuova has recently been restored and is a great gateway to the train. Porta Nuova is a destination, so all platforms/binario are connected to the main hall, which is on the street. Therefore, the main train can enter and exit freely with the following facilities: * Subway entrance (the main departure hall has an escalator for the subway) * Adjacent tram stop.

However, Turin Porta Nuova belongs to a station category similar to a shopping centre - the train also just leaves/arrives. When arriving by train, first set foot on the departure hall. If you want to take the metro or the main exit of the station to Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, you have to cross the shopping area - you will experience the feeling that 'I will get there.' Although your efforts will pay off, you will eventually reach the stunning main entrance hall. If you want to take the tram to the city centre, follow the signs to the Via Paolo Sacchi exit - when you leave the train, it is on the left side of the station.

Bologna (, UK also , Italian: [boˈloɲɲa] ; Bolognese: Bulåggna [buˈlʌɲːa]; Latin: Bononia) is the capital and largest city of the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy. It is the seventh most populous city in Italy, at the heart of a metropolitan area of about one million people. Of Etruscan origin, the city has been a major urban centre for centuries, first under the Etruscans, then under the Romans (Bononia), then again in the Middle Ages, as a free municipality and signoria, when it was among the largest European cities by population. Famous for its towers, churches and lengthy porticoes, Bologna has a well-preserved historical centre, thanks to a careful restoration and conservation policy which began at the end of the 1970s. Home to the oldest university in the world, the University of Bologna, established in AD 1088, the city has a large student population that gives it a cosmopolitan character. In 2000 it was declared European capital of culture and in 2006, a UNESCO "City of Music" and became part of the Creative Cities Network.Bologna is an important agricultural, industrial, financial and transport hub, where many large mechanical, electronic and food companies have their headquarters as well as one of the largest permanent trade fairs in Europe. According to the most recent data gathered by the European Regional Economic Growth Index (E-REGI) of 2009, Bologna is the first Italian city and the 47th European city in terms of its economic growth rate. As a consequence, Bologna is also one of the wealthiest cities in Italy, often ranking as one of the top cities in terms of quality of life in the country: in 2011 it ranked 1st out of 107 Italian cities.
