Note the German name and Italian address for this Train Station. That can only mean that Gayle and…read moreI were in the German part of Italy, where duel names are displayed and for the most part, Sprechen sie deutsche. There's history here and it goes back to WWI, when this part of the Country was ceded by Austria (the Loser) to Italy (the Winner). And even though this area remains ruled by Rome, the Alto Adige region is in the autonomous hands of the mostly German-speaking population. Gayle and I arrived at Bahnhof Bozen from Venice (via Verona). We then walked over to the nearby Bus Station, and took local transit (SAD) to our ultimate Dolomites destination (Castelrotto/Kastelruth). Unfortunately, we didn't spend anytime in Bolzano/Bozen itself, which is a tourist destination in its own right. The Station itself is fairly plain, with the usual collection of ticket counters, tourist information, canteen, and a tobacco shop. Gayle and I especially appreciated that there were actually elevators that were available to take us down from our track and then back up to the main station. For some reason, every other Italian Station we frequented didn't have many of the most basic of ADA-related features, which provided lots of stair climbing "opportunities" and "adventure" when there were just a few minutes to make a connection.

This station is clean, well organized, & had cafes, book stores, a supermarket, and a lounge all inside. There is even an Ibis hotel right outside the station so you could easily stay there for a late night arrival or early departure. I also saw lockers for storage if you just needed them for a few hours. You can catch a street-car outside the station or walk to old town in about 13 minutes.

If it happens that you forget to validate your ticket, ask for the 'controllore' in the train so he can validate the ticket for you!

Though i do realize Pordenone is a MINOR railway station, it still is object of a huge traffic,…read moredue to the fact that in the area there are several military bases (both italians and one American). There is a newspapers stand which is tiny and not well stocked (especially when it comes to NON italian items). The bar is rather large, has both plenty indoor seating as well as quite a bit outdoor options. The waiting area is old and "rustic". Though it is periodically cleaned, it just seems oddly funky. The ticket counters operate between 5:30 and 20:00 and, with a bit of luck, the person servicing you will be able to understand english. There also are 2 self-service ticket stand, which you can use with the English option, both to purchase your ticket and to review timetables. Unless there is a major change, normally the trains heading towards Udine leaves from track 1, the ones heading towards Venice, Milan and (mostly) everywhere else, leaves from track 2. MAKE SURE ypu stamp your ticket on those yellow looking stamping machines. If they are all out, track down the CONTROLLORE and inform them, otherwise ypu may have to end up paying a stiff fine!
