Public Transport

The city centre is pedestrianised and the limited Pollicino bus service is operated by TRAIN (tel: (0577) 204 225/8; website: www.trainspa.it). Services cover different areas, from outside the city walls then a few central streets, and run at around 30 minute intervals. You can find timetables on the website or in tourist information offices. The main bus station for routes outside the city is on Piazza Gramsci. Information offices for various bus companies are in the pedestrian underpass La Lizza below. Tickets are available from tobacconists or the La Lizza information centre. You can also buy a day pass for city bus travel within the central zone (Tariffa A Urbana) from the tourist information office.

Taxis

Siena’s main taxi rank is on Piazza Matteotti, and there is another one outside the train station. Taxis can be booked by telephone from Radio Taxi (tel: (0577) 49222) or Taxi Merci (tel: (0577) 289 044).

Driving in the City

Essentially the whole of the historic heart of Siena is pedestrianised and the only car parks are outside the city walls. A few hotels have private parking areas. The Pollicino bus service links some car parks to the city centre.
