Flying from Rome to Siena

There’s a small airfield outside Siena, but it’s a military airfield – not a commercial airport.

The closest airports to Siena that you might consider are in Florence or Pisa – but it would take far more time to fly from Rome to Florence or Pisa and then take a train or bus to Siena from there than it would to simply take a train or bus directly from Rome to Siena.

In other words, don’t try to fly between Rome and Siena. It’s just not worth the trouble.

And now that you’re in Siena…
