train station
is 2km northeast of town, down in the valley. It has a counter selling city bus tickets (Mon-Sat 5.50am-7.30pm; L1400/a?¬0.72). To get into town, cross the road and take just about any city
bus
heading left (#3, #9 to Tozzi; #4, #7, #8, #14, #17, #77 to Garibaldi/Sale; #10 to Gramsci) all of which drop off about 100m north of Piazza Matteotti on the northern edge of the centre. Most
intercity buses
arrive on Viale Tozzi, the road running alongside Piazza Gramsci, or at La Lizza nearby, but note that many now avoid the centre and terminate at the train station instead. Coming from Florence
