Santuario della Verna

Without a car, a trip to La Verna requires a train and/or bus, most often through Bibbiena.

From Florence

By bus, take the Etruria Mobilitá (www.etruriamobilita.it) to Bibbiena, and then transfer to the Pieve Santo Stefano bus to go to Santuario Della Verna. You can also take the train (www.trenitalia.com) from Florence to Arezzo, then transfer to a local TFT train (www.trasportoferroviariotoscano.it) to Bibbiena and take the Etruria Mobilitá bus from there.

From Rome

Take the train to Arezzo, transfer to the TFT train from Arezzo to Bibbiena, and then transfer to the Etruria Mobilitá bus to Santuario della Verna as above.

Assisi

Most travelers to Assisi choose to fly to Florence or Rome and then take the train to Assisi’s nearest station, Santa Maria Degli Angeli. From the station there is a €1.50 each 30min for the last 2.5km uphill to Assisi. Otherwise it’s a 45-minute walk uphill on the ‘Pax et Bonum’ pedestrian walkway from the train station to Assisi.

Assisi also shares the Aeroporto San Francesco d’Assisi (PEG) with Perugia at Sant’Egidio, about 10km out of town (www.airport.umbria.it), with direct links to several European cities including London (Stansted), Catania, Tirana, Brussels (Charleroi) and Molta. Information on the infrequent local bus (number E007) can be found at www.umbriamobilita.it under ‘S Egidio Aeroporto’, but lack of frequent runs makes it most convenient to pay the approximately €25 cab fare for the 15-minute trip to Assisi.
