Travelling by train from Florence to Siena
Clad in medieval brickwork, Siena is a wonderful place to visit if you’re staying in Tuscany. From Florence, it’s just over an hour and a half to Siena station. As you whisk through the Tuscan countryside on a comfortable Trenitalia train you’ll wonder why you ever considered driving!
Siena station is close to multiple cultural attractions. The Piazza Del Campo – regarded as one of Europe’s great medieval city squares – is within walking distance of the station. There you’ll find the Torre Del Mangia – if you’re feeling up to it you can scale the 400 steps up the tower to get incredible 360-degree views of the city. Alternatively, head to the nearby Fortezza Medicea for more incredible views over the city – the fort has stood there since 1563! Or, if you fancy checking out filming locations from the TV series Succession, then take a cab from Siena train station. Sound good? Take a look at the helpful journey information below, including ticket prices and FAQs.

Cheap train tickets from Florence to Siena
Book in advance
Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Florence to Siena by booking early.§
Be flexible with your travel times
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
Choose a slower or connecting train
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
