The Italian rail and bus networks provide
reasonably quick, quite cheap transportation to almost anywhere;
in particular the bus routes are comprehensive because teens living
in small towns generally take busses to high schools in larger
cities. Florence's bus stations are right next to the Santa Maria
Novella train station; the SITA depot is on Via Santa Caterina
da Siena (the street exiting Piazza della Stazione to the left
as you stand facing the station), whereas the Lazzi station is
at the corner of Piazza Adua, across the street to the right of
the station. The SITA busses go to Siena (an hour), while the
Lazzi busses go to the Lucca (an hour to either); for other locations
and departure times you will have to visit the stations. For Arezzo,
Pisa, Pistoia and Bologna you will want to take the train; check
the F.F.S.S. site for schedules when you're planning things out.
Here again you should plan ahead, making certain that you have a valid international driver's license, and contacting a rental agency (click here) before you come, because the rates are considerably cheaper if you rent from outside the country. You might also want to ask your airline if it has a partnership with a rental agency; many do. In terms of picking the car up, you should find out if an airport pickup entails a surcharge -- if it does and you are coming directly to Florence you may just want to take the city bus into town to the rental agency's offices. Finally, if you're going to be going
long distances, you should visit the Societá
Autostrade site to plan your route. QUICK LINKS
