For travellers who have found a convenient flight into Umbria, this is a direct way to reach the Tuscan city without changing trains.

From Umbria to the Crete Senesi

The first half follows the RA6 past Lake Trasimeno to Bettolle, where it meets the A1. Instead of joining the motorway, the car continues west on the dual carriageway towards Siena, crossing the soft clay hills of the Crete Senesi.

It is a calm road with few towns on it. The drive takes around two hours, so short breaks at a service area can be agreed with the driver.

Siena's walls and the ZTL

Inside the walls, Siena's centre is almost completely closed to traffic, and the streets leading to Piazza del Campo are narrow and steep. Hotels within the ZTL can sometimes register arriving cars; otherwise the driver stops at a permitted point near one of the gates or car parks. Several car parks outside the walls are linked to the centre by escalators, which makes the climb easier on foot.

Hotels outside the walls usually have direct car access.

When Siena is at its busiest

Palio di Siena
The horse race in Piazza del Campo takes place on 2 July and 16 August. In the days before and after, the centre is very crowded and access is more limited.
Spring and early autumn
The most popular months for tours and wine country trips into Chianti and Val d'Orcia.
Winter
Quieter and good for museums and the cathedral, though the airport schedule at PEG is thinner.
