Moving around Tuscany by train

Trains remain as one of the easiest ways to travel within Tuscany from city center to city center.

Trains remain as one of the easiest ways to travel within Tuscany from city center to city center. Florence's main train station, Firenze Santa Maria Novella, sits astride the main Rome-Milan line (with connections in Bologna and Arezzo) and is the terminus for two lines to the west - one to Livorno via Pisa and Empoli and one to Viareggio via Prato, Pistoia and Lucca. Direct lines run to Siena (sometimes with changes at Empoli) and Faenza in Emilia-Romagna (a scenic ride through the Apennines). Italy's main west coast line route runs through Tuscany linking Orbetello in the south to Livorno, Pisa, Viareggio and Massa in the north. To proceed to smaller towns near these main towns, you will often need to make a bus connection.
An inconvenience of numerous Tuscan towns to keep in mind is that many are located on a hilltop. This is the case for Siena, Cortona and Volterra so the train station is at the bottom on the hilltown and you will need to get a local bus to take you up to the town or prepare to walk a bit uphill to reach your destination.
