How to reach Siena

Siena is located in the heart of Tuscany amid a wide hilly landscape. Built on three steep hills and encircled by ancient walls, the medieval city of Siena welcomes its visitors with a Latin motto at the Porta Camollia entrance to the centre “Cor Magis Tibi Saena Pandit" (Siena opens its heart to you wider than this gate).

By train: Siena is connected to Chiusi railway station (for Rome) and Empoli (for Florence and Pisa). See the Italian Railways website for rates, routes and timetables. The railway station is about 2 km from the town centre and it can easily be reached by bus in a few minutes.

By bus: There are bus connections with several northern and southern cities; the most frequent are for Florence, Rome and Bologna. See the SENA web site for rates, routes and timetables.
