The main bus departure point is Piazza Gramsci/Via Tozzi which is no more than a quarter of a mile from your hotel. The Railway station is at the bottom of the hill about a mile from the city centre.

Upon arrival by train you would certainly want to take a taxi unless you were really economising - then it would be a €1.20 bus ticket (I am going to assume you are taking a taxi).

If you decide to take the Siena - Bologna bus, you will need to either take a taxi down to station, or to walk the half mile or so down to the church of San Francesco, then take the escalators down to via Peruzzi to catch the bus, as it does not use the main station.

Further to the above, I have modified a map to show you the various locations. It can be seen at

Should I be concerned tha MYAIR appears to be going on strike on May 9th? :)

I'm hoping Willit or someone else on this forum can answer a question re: the SENA bus from Siena to Bologna airport.

I purchased 2 tickets back in May on the website for a one way trip from Siena to Bologna Airport on July 3rd. I received a confirmation when I purchased the tickets (in the form of a pop-up which I printed out) and it includes the total cost of the order, an order number, authorization code for the charge and the date of the transaction. I never received a voucher per se so I'm confused about what we're supposed to present in order to board the bus. I emailed the bus company and have not heard back. We leave this Thursday for our trip so I wanted to resolve this before we leave. Everything on the website seems to convert from English to Italian as soon as you go to purchase.

I'm hoping someone may have done this trip before and therefore can shed some light.

Thanks so much!

As well as the confirmation Email, I seem to remember that I received a link to print out 2 sheets of a4 paper - one labelled for the passenger and one "for the driver".

If you don't have these, or they wern't sent as attachments, then I would go to the SENA office when I got to Siena and seek their help - they have always been very helpful when I have been there.

The Sena office is in the underpass in Piazza Gramsci. Stand with your back to the buses, and the steps are just in front of the large bar/cafe.

The office is well marked with SENA, but is to the left of the local bus company offices and the left luggage.

THANK YOU Willit!!!!
