Siena to Florence Airport

The airport advises being at check-in about 2 hours before the scheduled departure, or as your airline says. The drive is about 1 hour 16 minutes on a clear road. A pickup 3 hours 30 minutes before departure covers both and leaves about 15 minutes spare. Your airline's own closing time for check-in and bag drop is the deadline that counts.

Siena's ZTL is in force 0 to 24, every day, with camera gates. A licensed private-hire car (NCC) is either on the Comune's permanent whitelist for the whole zone or registers an occasional entry online, free, for that day only, with a stop of at most 30 minutes. An NCC car may never park inside, so the pickup is a loading stop: have the cases at the door at the agreed time.

The innermost streets of Siena, among them Banchi di Sopra, Via di Città and Il Campo, are a mainly pedestrian zone the Comune calls Zona Y storica. A licensed private-hire car or taxi may pass there only from 06:00 to 10:00, and the Comune words the permission as taking clients to accommodation or a business inside the zone. Ask your carrier to confirm a pickup at the door in that window. For a pickup outside it, the car waits at the nearest street outside the zone.

On the days we sampled, the first direct train from Siena reached Santa Maria Novella at 07:23 on a Tuesday and a Saturday and at 08:04 on a Sunday, with a 20-minute tram ride still to go. With 2 hours in hand at the airport, that rules out public transport for any flight before about 09:45 on a weekday and about 10:25 on a Sunday. The first 131R fast bus leaves Siena at 06:15 on weekdays and at 11:10 on Sundays and holidays. On one sampled Saturday, 17 October 2026, no direct train ran at all.

The 40 check-in desks are on the first floor of the terminal, reached by 2 lifts, an escalator and a staircase from the ground-floor departures area. Check-in normally opens 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes before departure, and the terminal opens at 04:00. There is no left-luggage office at the airport.

The Siena link (RA 3) is a toll-free road run by ANAS. About 18 km of the return, on the A1 and the A11, are toll motorway. Check that a carrier's offer says whether the toll is included.

Carriers provide child seats on request, but you need to book them. Put each child's age in the booking notes, because a booster and a rear-facing infant seat are different equipment. Confirm the seat is in the offer before you pay.

About 1 hour 16 minutes on a clear road for about 82 km, measured from Piazza Gramsci in Siena to the Florence Airport forecourt. The drive is about 55 km of the Siena link, the RA 3, from the Siena Nord junction, then about 14 km of the A1 and about 4 km of the A11. No authority publishes a traffic time for these roads, so add a margin before a flight.

About 3 hours 30 minutes before departure by car, plus your own margin for traffic. Florence Airport advises being at check-in about 2 hours before the scheduled departure, or as your airline says, and the drive from Siena is about 1 hour 16 minutes on a clear road, which leaves about 15 minutes spare. By public transport you need longer: the bus or train to Florence and the tram to the airport are at least 1 hour 31 minutes of riding before any wait. A private transfer is timed to your flight and collects you at the hotel.

Yes. Siena's ZTL is in force all day, every day, but licensed private-hire (NCC) cars and taxis are admitted: a car is either on the Comune di Siena's permanent whitelist or registers an occasional entry online for that day, with a stop of at most 30 minutes. The exception is Zona Y storica, the innermost streets including Banchi di Sopra, Via di Città and Il Campo, where a licensed private-hire car or taxi may pass only from 06:00 to 10:00. The Comune words that permission as taking clients to accommodation, so ask your carrier to confirm a pickup at the door in that window. Outside it, the car waits at the nearest street outside the zone, agreed with your carrier in advance.

No. Public transport from Siena goes to central Florence, and the T2 tram covers the last leg to the airport in about 20 minutes for €2.00. The 131R fast bus takes 1 hour 15 minutes from Via Tozzi to the Florence bus station; a direct regional train takes 1 hour 11 minutes to 1 hour 57 minutes to Santa Maria Novella for €10.80. The tram carries one bag up to 10 kg free and refuses any bag over 20 kg. A private transfer goes from your hotel to the departures area in one vehicle, in about 1 hour 16 minutes on a clear road.

Not a flight before about 09:45 on a weekday, with 2 hours in hand at the airport. On the days we sampled, the first direct train from Siena left at 05:43 and reached Santa Maria Novella at 07:23, and the first 131R fast bus left at 06:15 and reached the Florence bus station at 07:30, each with a 20-minute tram ride still to go. On a Sunday the first direct train arrived at 08:04 and the first fast bus left Siena at 11:10. The terminal opens at 04:00, and a private transfer leaves Siena at whatever hour the flight needs.

On part of the drive. The Siena link, the RA 3, is a toll-free road run by ANAS and makes up about 55 of the 82 km. The last stretch, about 14 km of the A1 and about 4 km of the A11, is toll motorway. With a private transfer, the carrier's offer should state whether the toll is included.

At the departures area on the ground floor of the passenger terminal. The 40 check-in desks are on the first floor, reached by 2 lifts, an escalator and a staircase. Check-in normally opens 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes before departure, and the airport has no left-luggage office, so there is little reason to arrive long before your desks open.

Yes, if the flight leaves room. Monteriggioni has its own junction on the Siena link, 14 km and 21 minutes from Piazza Gramsci in Siena, and a stop there adds about 2 km and about 8 minutes of driving to the transfer, before the time you spend inside the walls. Ask for the stop and the waiting time when you post the trip, so the carrier sets the pickup time around it.

TransferBnB does not publish a fixed price for this route. You post the trip with your flight, passenger count, luggage and the hotel's address, and verified carriers send offers per vehicle that you compare before you pay. The carrier's offer should state whether the A1 and A11 toll is included.
