2012-10-10 – Cinque Terre to Siena

It’s another train day! Today’s trip to Siena involved two transfers (@ La Spezia & Empoli) and was about four hours long.  When we arrived at Siena station, we took a cab to our hotel.  Most cars are restricted from entering the Siena city walls.  With its narrow one-way steep roads clogged with pedestrians, Siena is not car friendly.  However, our cab driver effortlessly navigated us through the city (narrowly avoiding tourists as we passed through the city’s main square) for only 11 euro.  While I wouldn’t recommend hiring a taxi in most of Italy, I think taking a cab is definitely the right approach in Siena.
