How to get there
By airplane
Using low-cost airlines you can easily reach several Italian airports like Milan, Bergamo, Bologna, Forlì-Cesena, Firenze, Pisa and Rome. Most of these airports are easily linked with Siena: check out the "by coach" section! There is also an airport in Siena called Ampugnano; there's a shuttle bus linking it to the city.
By car
From the North (Bologna/Firenze):
Take the A1 (Autostrada del Sole) highway till Firenze Certosa exit, and then take the Raccordo Autostradale Siena-Firenze towards Siena
From the South (Rome):
Take the A1 (Autostrada del Sole) highway towards Firenze till Valdichiana exit, and then take the Raccordo Autostradale Siena-Bettolle towards Siena
By coach
There is a bus company that manages all the trips to and from Siena. You can check online the timetables and buy your tickets online which are very cheap! The web page is www.sena.it. If you need any help check out the contacts at the end of the newsletter!
From Milan
The following timetable refers to the 4th of May. The easiest stop in Milan is in Lampugnano; you can reach it by tube (line 1 or red) from every part of the city.
From Bergamo
You'll have to take a train to Milan (I think there is one every 30 minutes, or something…).
From Bologna
There is a stop near the train station, at the coach station, and a stop near the airport. Check out the website form more timetables and to buy the tickets.
From Forlì-Cesena
You can take a train to Bologna (one every hours more or less) and then the bus.
From Firenze
Near the station you can find a coach station of the SITA coach lines. Here you can find the timetable:

From Pisa
You can either take a train or get a coach to Firenze from this web site (English): http://www2.clearclick.net/coach/book.asp?id_prov=3098&id_affiliate=132 with Terravision and then reach Siena.
From Rome
You can take a coach with SENA lines from the Tiburtina train station. Check out www.sena.it for more informations.
By train
Siena is not so easily connected with other big Italian cities; often you'll have to stop in Firenze and then change train to Siena. You can also change in Prato (from Bologna) or Empoli (from Pisa) or Chiusi (from Rome). Check the national railways web site www.ferroviedellostato.it
By bike
Good luck…
For those of you who are already planning the trip and might come before the conference, you can also find the list of contacts to which you can refer for every single question.
