Going to Tuscany by Train

Traveling by railway in Tuscany has three advantages: well-developed network of routes, variety of train types and flexible system of discounts. Railways are so much developed that even small towns have stations of their own. This may be the reason for taking a train to some place to meet local colorful sights.

Going to Tuscany by Bus or by Car

Travelling by bus is as much good as by train although it is less popular due to not very accurate timetable. Main cities and resorts are annually connected with bus routes. Tickets are available at the stations. In large cities tickets may be sold by an agency and in small towns you can buy a ticket right in the bus. Tickets may be with seat number or without it. It is better to buy tickets in advance during the travelling season to take care of a more convenient place in the bus.

One should buy tickets in advance because it is impossible to buy tickets in buses and trams.
