Travelling by train from Florence to Siena

Clad in medieval brickwork, Siena is a wonderful place to visit if you’re staying in Tuscany. From Florence, it’s just over an hour and a half to Siena station. As you whisk through the Tuscan countryside on a comfortable Trenitalia train you’ll wonder why you ever considered driving!

Siena station is close to multiple cultural attractions. The Piazza Del Campo – regarded as one of Europe’s great medieval city squares – is within walking distance of the station. There you’ll find the Torre Del Mangia – if you’re feeling up to it you can scale the 400 steps up the tower to get incredible 360-degree views of the city. Alternatively, head to the nearby Fortezza Medicea for more incredible views over the city – the fort has stood there since 1563! Sound good?
