bus/train costs around Tuscany
 

I will be in Italy for about 5 weeks... and I'm trying to plan a budget. I will be staying with friends in Florence... and will travel throughout Tuscany, the coast, and hopefully the North via bus/train. I understand that the bus system in Tuscany can often be a better choice ... any ideas of costs from different city destinations, or local bus costs. is there a website that lists bus and train costs... ? <BR><BR>IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: I'm definitely planning on making it to Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza, Lucca, Volterra, Arezzo, etc ... and Cinque Terre, Positano, SML ... and hopefully Verona! many thanks!!<BR>

I'd recommend thrwoing some sample itineraries onto www.railsaver.com or check out individual fares on www.trenitalia.com<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

up<BR>

Here are some prices I paid last year:<BR>Bus Montepulciano to Siena $4<BR>Bus Siena to Florence $6<BR>Bus Florence to Greve in Chianti $2.50<BR>Bus Florence to San Gimignano $5.25<BR><BR>

thanks Nutella, that's exactly what I was looking for... does anyone have any other prices? <BR><BR>as I mentioned, I'd also like to travel to the coast and up north. thanks again!!
