I took the tram T1 to the airport and walked there. Many people are going to Prato. After asking around for more or less 20 minutes I got a ride to Bologna―hitchiker69

Honestly not really a good spot, but if you are lucky there will be someone doing a show for the cars at the opposite traffic lights so I think its well worth it to just chill there and wait for someone who takes you to the end of the city for better spots😆―Filipnatripu

Was looking for a ride south along the Adriatic, we found one before we even got to the spot we wanted to hitch from by walking along the SS64 with our thumbs out. Bologna is great!―road2riot2k25

Got lucky that some workers were opening the gate as soon as I got to the station. Not sure if access is possible otherwise. No sign, asking people directly. Most foreigners were down but usually had full cars, a couple of Italians on their way to Vicenza dropped me off in Bologna.―Anonymous

Best place for going north towards Padova. Take the bus to stop Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche and then walk on Via Sammarina for 500 m, then turn right.―Anonymous

Good place to go towards north (Milano) or south (Florence) on the A1. IMPORTANT: If you press the button of the pedestrian-crossing light right at the intersection, ALL cars for your direction will IMMEDIATELY stop in front of you. That will help you a lot.To get to the place you can probably get a bus to the intersection of Emilia Ponente / Viale Sandro Pertini.

Don't fully agree to what above me said. This only applies when you don't have a lot of luggage as the traffic light is only red for about 25 seconds (which isn't a lot).Then for Florence cars can't pull over to the right very well as they gotta go straight in general.
I still got away after about 90 minutes, but it was quite dangerous.

Second time we find out, that the bolognian people do not like Hitcher. That was the second time was was tiring to catch a car. Stood there for 2-3 hours. Many cars pass by, even local people tells us. That this is the best possible stop. that was our second time we was forcer to leave Bologna by Train.―Anonymous

Beware, looks like a good spot, there is a lot of parking places and Macdonal. But Bolognian people do not takes Hitchers. Been in bologna 2time, every time we was forced to leave it by train. Stood there for 3hours, without any result.―Anonymous

Great spot, got a ride all the way to Italy. A lot of ppl going on Munich, Norynbergy and further south. Stand by the gas station, not the parking spots (there is more traffic)―karo

Noce spot, car can stop and you can go in pretty much all directions from here. Beware Bolognesi are not big fans of hitchhikers but somebody will eventually stop; I wanted to go to venice/padua, wrote a sign with padova/ ferrara A13 and it helped.―Tomtom

An extremely busy Autogrill! So many German cars going both North and South. For some reason though quite difficult to get to Bologna from here and close to IMPOSSIBLE to go East towards Rimini.You can ask people directly where they're going or stand with a sign at the exit of the gas station (less effective).
According to my calculations the peak traffic was reached at 1 pm with an average of 60 cars passing in the Southern direction and 40 in the Northern (yes I spent the whole day here, it was this comfy + nice view).
The grocery shops on both sides of the road are so busy you can easily get away with taking any food/drinks and going upstairs with it to the restaurant (Didn't want to risk too much and only got 1 pack of chocolates 4 euro worth).
Tablediving is indeed extraordinary here! Mostly due to presence of many wasteful Americans XD
Can't vote for the free showers though, doubt it's still a thing.
Not sure if you can camp nearby this place but there are some pretty thick trees at the boot of the hill (some fences have to be jumped over to get there).

We, two girls on a Saturday morning, tried to get out of Bologna from this spot. The place is not that bad in theory: Cars dont drive too fast and people noticed us in general. There is a lot of traffic. Nevertheless we were standing for one and a half hour without success. Finally we decided to move from this spot because it was quite sunny and there is no shadow.―Anonymous
