HOW TO GET THERE

There are a number of airports in the region. If you are coming by public transport,  you can take a train from cities such as Roma and Pisa to Grosseto and then take a bus from Grosseto to Arcidosso. The bus stop is right outside the Grosseto train station. If coming from the North (Venezia, Milano, Firenze), take a bus from Firenze to Arcidosso (except Sundays, when you have to take a train to Grosseto and a bus from there). A few times a day, there is a bus that stops closer to the Gar (Aiole Est). There are also two direct buses from Roma, but they do not run every day of the week. If you are traveling on a Sunday or a holiday, please note that public transport is particularly limited on those days.

AIRPORTS

The main airports serving Merigar are in Roma (Fiumicino and Ciampino), Pisa, Firenze, and Milano. It is best to choose a flight arriving early in the day to avoid having to spend the night in the city of your arrival. By car, Firenze, Pisa, and Roma take approximately 2 hours. If you are able it will be easiest to rent a car. If you are traveling onward by public transport, check available connections before you book a flight. From Roma and Pisa, take the train to Grosseto. There are also two direct buses from Roma each day. From Firenze, take the Rama Mobilità bus from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, the only option from Firenze is to take a train to Grosseto and the bus to Arcidosso.
