Staying around Centrale station
The station occupies a large block, so being close to its walls does not always mean being close to the entrance you need. Check whether your accommodation faces Piazza Duca d'Aosta, Via Napo Torriani or the streets along either side. For an early departure, save the route to the main concourse and allow time to reach the platforms.
