by plane:
the closest international airport is Firenze Amerigo Vespucci (FLR) (also known as Peretola). A frequent tram service (20 minutes trip) connects the airport to Firenze central train station. Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA) is also a valid option and not too far away. It is reachable by the "PISAMOVER" train that connects the Pisa Central Station to the Pisa Airport.
by train:
Siena is reachable by regional trains from every city in Italy. Fast trains do not stop in Siena but in Firenze and Arezzo (closest train stations). Regional trains also connect Pisa and Siena with a train change in Empoli (2 hours trip). Train timetables and ticketing are consultable at Trenitalia and Italo.
by buses and regional transport:
there are several options of direct buses from Firenze city center and Firenze international airport to Siena city center, and the trip takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. For local transport timetables please visit Autolinee Toscane.
