Planning my last four nights in Italy in Siena. In Rome first 5 nights of 2 week trip. Flight out isn't until 1:30PM.<BR>Does this leave me enough time to get from Siena to Termini to da Vinci?<BR>

Wow, I think that's cutting it awfully close. If you are taking the train from Siena to Termini, you must change trains in Chiusi; our train to Rome was late getting to Chiusi, and therefore late getting into Rome. I personally wouldn't take the chance, but I'm sure you'll hear otherwise from others!

There's a SENA bus that leaves Siena's train station at 6am arriving in Rome's Tiburtina station at 8:55am. If you're staying within the city walls, you may catch the bus in Piazza Gramsci 10 min later. From Rome's Tirburtina station, there are trains to the airport every 15 min. Trip takes 42 min. You'd be at the airport at 9:48/10:03am depending on how fast you're able to transfer from the bus to the train. The next bus out from Siena would be at 8am. At best you'd be at the airport at 11:48am.<BR><BR>The train option would call for a departure at 5:57am, changes in Chiusi and Roma Termini, arriving at 9:53am. Next train out (at 7:57am) would get you to the airport at 12:03pm. <BR><BR>In your shoes I'd certainly stay in Siena for my last night. I'd also catch the 6am bus because it involves one less luggage transfer, it departs from the old center and it avoids the Termini zoo.

Thanks. This is exactly the advice I was looking for. I don't know why people have been critical of these message boards lately. I have gotten tons of help on my trip to Italy.<BR><BR>Thanks to everybody.
