Experience Tuscany

Getting to Tuscany is extremely easy thanks to the many connections that this region enjoys. The air travel system includes regional hubs such as Florence and Pisa which offer national, international and intercontinental flights. The highway system is very capillary as Tuscany is crossed from north to south by the A1 highway, while from Florence you can connect to the coast thanks to the A11 branch. Additionally, other important arteries are the A12 from Pisa to Genoa to north, and from Pisa to Livorno and Rosignano to south, the A15 that crosses the north-western extremity of Tuscany called Lunigiana. Highways are complemented by other important and historical state roads and 4-lane freeways such as Via Aurelia, Cassia and Clodia to name a few.
The railway system is also well developed in Tuscany, as by train you can get almost anywhere. The main train route is the line that goes from Rome to Milan crossing Tuscan lengthwise and touches cities such as Prato, Florence and Arezzo. From there a number of subordinate lines depart to connect towns and cities throughout the region. On top of all, Tuscany has very efficient passenger transport sea services. Many are the ports that connect the region to its islands (Elba, Giglio, Capraia are just the main ones). From Piombino and Livorno cruise ships depart to Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily several times a day to provide a more efficient and comfortable service.
