Siena and Pisa

Hi,

Anyone have any idea how to reach the centre of Pisa and Siena from Pisa train station and Siena train station respectively?

If by bus, what buses to take and what is the cost?

In Pisa you can walk from the train station about 30 minutes and see the leaning tower (or else find a bus to take you there). If you walk to the leaning tower, there are signs that have a picture of the tower and an arrow. Just follow the signs and you will end up at the tower (remember how to get back to the station!).

Maybe someone else can give you the specifics as to which bus to take. the last time that I was there i took bus number one and it ran to the leaning tower.

Hello Axio,

Yes - I took Bus No.1, too, from opposite Pisa station (cross the road) to Piazza del Duomo/Campo dei Miracoli.
Buy your tickets before boarding. You can buy them at the station newspaper kiosk or bar, - 1500 LIRE, I think.

Siena station is outside town, -there's a connecting bus into the centre. Again, buy tickets before boarding.
(If you're coming from Florence it's easier and quicker to get to Siena by bus than train)

Hope this helps ...

Steve

Steve - Is the Florence bus station near the train station, and do you know if they run all day Saturday and Sunday?

Hello Steve,

Yes - the bus station for the Florence-Siena service is opposite the railway station in Florence. The timetable is on:-
www.sienaweb.it/territorio/trasporti/rapida.htm

Services are less frequent on Sundays, as shown.

Let me know if I can be of more help ...

Steve
