We've been advisied by this board not to drive into Rome to drop car before we get there. We can drop auto in Siena or Orvieto. <BR>which is best, and should we take train or bus.

Train rides from Siena to Orvieto take from 2 to 2 1/2 hours and call for a train change in Chiusi. If I had a car, though, and could drop it in Orvieto I would keep it. The nonstop drive to Orvieto would call for about 1:15 hours but one could stop in Montepulciano (Pienza, Chianciano Terme or else) enroute. <BR>Paulo <BR>

Thanks again Paulo cound not find info <BR>anywhere, but knew you would come thur.. <BR>We will drive to Orvieto, Do you know what train line and if there is an web site where I can obtain schedules.

I haven't been able to connect to the FS site in the last couple of days ... Out here from Brazil I get a "unable to locate server" message back. Anyway, the address would be <BR>http://orario.fs-on-line.com/fsbinx/fsqueryx?lang=en <BR> <BR>For the time being, I'm using the German Rail site as a reference (slight schedule changes may apply for the summer season next year) <BR>http://bahn.hafas.de//bin/db.s98/query.exe/en <BR> <BR>If you plug in Siena and Orvieto, you'll get the following departure (arrival) times: <BR>6:21am (8:22am), 8:42am (11:59am), 10:12am (12:26pm), 12:20pm (2:26pm), 1:54pm (4:26pm), 3:58pm (6:26pm) <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR>

Oh ... to Rome from Orvieto you'll have to plug "Roma Termini" in! This will give you a train every hour or so, with the trip taking approximately one hour. <BR>Paulo <BR>

Paulo...Grazie again found train info <BR>and now I'm all set..so you will hear from me after the trip. Will return 30/11/00, and will post results. <BR>Oh yea been meaning to ask, How did you get so knowledgeable? We're doing Germany and Prague in March,hopefully you can lead me in the right direction again.
