Getting there

Getting there

Getting to Siena from any Italian city is very easy:

• By car: From Rome and the South generally take highway A1 to the exit at Valdichiana/Bettolle and continue on Statale 73 up to Siena. From Milan or Bologna take highway A1 towards Florence, exit at Firenze Certosa and continue on Superstrada Firenze-Siena. From Venice and the Northeast take A13 Padova-Bologna and continue A1 up to Firenze Certosa. Those coming from Genoa, Pisa or Lucca, must take A11 Pisa-Firenze, and then take A1 towards Rome, and exit at Firenze Certosa, to get on the highway for Firenze-Siena.
  
  
• By train: Siena is well connected to Rome and Florence by train. From Rome there are many connections, which take about three hours, with a change at Chiusi or at Grosseto. From Florence there are several runs that last 1.5 and 2 hours, in some cases with a change over at Empoli. For times please consult the Trenitalia site or call the green number 89 20 21. There are other options and companies that link small Tuscany localities (Tra-In: +39.0577.204246) and major Italian cities (SENA: 800.930.960).
  
  
• By plane: Florence Airport "Amerigo Vespucci" (FLR) connects with all major Italian airports and 13 European destinations. From the airport there is a direct coach bus service for Siena offered by Train (tel. +39.0577.204111) or take the train from Florence S.M. Novella station. Pisa International Airport "Galileo Galilei" (PSA) is the most important in Tuscany: it links the city with major Italian and European destinations. Pisa is connected to Siena by many trains (app. two-hour trip) with a change at Empoli.
