train or car to florence
 

I am staying at a villa in Castellino. We have two cars and we want to day trip to Florence. I know, thru this web site not to drive in Florence, but am wondering if it will be easier to park car in Siena and take a train to Florence or drive to and park outside Florence.

Hi Savi - There is a bus service into Florence from the Castellina area if you don't want to drive.

Alternatively you could drive to Poggibonsi rather than Siena - and train from there.

Hope this helps ...

Steve thanks for the suggestion. We will definitely look into the train from Poggibonsi.

Driving into Siena is no picnic as well.
Agree with Steve's advice.

I suggest to you to drive to Florence and park your car at Galluzzo (in befor Florence arriving from the highway Firenze Siena)and then take the bus

have a nice trip

Park on the outskirts of Florence and ride the city bus in. Check out the City Transportation (ATAF) site http://www.ataf.net/Default.aspx?LN=en-US.

The train from Siena is a bad idea. It doesn't go directly to Florence.
