Hi travel peas!
My family is going on vacation next week. We are flying to Italy and will be there for 2 weeks. We will arrive about 8 am but can't check in to our lodging until 3 pm. What can we do with our luggage? We plan to travel by train so we won't have a car to just leave luggage in. If we have to, we'll just keep the luggage with us but I wondered if there was something else we could do.
Thanks! Merilee

I've always been able to 'check in' early to leave luggage and then wander around until the room is ready.

There might be lockers at the airport/train station. That's what we used in Amsterdam. Were were staying at an AirBnB, so luggage storage wasn't an option.

We used Bag Bnb in Philadelphia to store our stuff before an Airbnb check-in. Just looked and they've changed their name to radicalstorage.com/

What type of lodging are you staying in? I've stayed in lots of hotels that had a bag storage area that was either free or a few dollars a bag. You may be able to arrange with an airbnb to store your bags there until the place is cleaned. I'd email ahead.

Definitely first stop with your lodging. Many will let you leave bags even if you can't check in - we did exactly that in Rome a month ago. If you can't leave them there, Rome has some bag locker places that we were looking into - I can dig up the info if you can't leave them at your lodging.

If it is a hotel you can definitely leave your luggage there and return when your room is ready. You can also leave it there if you have some time between check out and departure time.

If you are staying in a hotel, check with them. But if you are staying in an Airbnb, there often isn’t a secure place to leave your bags. In Europe. we usually use the app Nannybag. It’s a secure place to leave your bags (often at a hotel). It’s about 7-10€ per bag.

We used a locker storage place in Rome for the day we left our airbnb before our train. Its very close to the main train terminal. But I do know they have lots of them around the city. I'm sure other cities there do as well.
But if you're staying in a hotel definitely just drop your bags off there

Drop it at the hotel, they will store it until you check in.

I figure the worst they can do is say no, right? Merilee

Thanks! Merilee We'd rented a flat and this was the place recommended to us by the owners - we ended up not using it as the previous tenants checked out early and we were able to leave the bags in the flat so don't have a personal experience: www.leftluggageroom.it/

We used a luggage locker at the train station when we got in, and had no issues with it. It was very convenient since we arrived by train.
