Transferência de carro particular de Amalfi para Siena

Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful and memorable sites in the Tuscan region. You can swing by Pompeii and walk the streets of this Ancient Roman city that ended in tragedy more than 2,000 years ago. Or wander through the visually stunning and endlessly fragrant vineyards of Cantina del Vesuvio before trying one of the ‘house wines’ with your brunch or lunch. Then there's Mount Vesuvius, the Pastena Caves, and Sacro Bosco for the adventurous who love exploring the great outdoors.

Once you reach Siena, which is set within the heart of Chianti, you’ll find a city thick with architectural wonders. A stroll through the city after Daytrip drops you off will awaken your thirst for exploring places like the Piazza del Campo, the Siena Cathedral, and the Contra de neighborhoods, which have a unique vibe unfelt anywhere else in the world. There's a treasure trove of surprises in this city that is just waiting for you to discover.

Siena is unique because it is built upon three hills surrounded by well-preserved medieval walls and exquisite natural landscapes. It began as an Etruscan settlement until it fell under Roman rule and became Sena Julia. It was an important commercial and banking city that rivaled Florence’s wealth and power during the Medieval period until Florence surpassed it.

Although it lost some of its importance, Siena remained a popular trading destination in Italy, and it is not hard to imagine why. The city is filled with exemplary examples of Gothic architecture and is home to the Piazza del Campo, one of the most unique piazzas in the world since it is shaped like a shell with scalloped edges. This Piazza is also the site of the Palio di Siena, a famous and exciting horse race held twice yearly.

Besides the Piazza del Campo and the beautiful architecture, the city is also home to statues, churches, monasteries, vineyards, and cafes worth visiting. It's undoubtedly one of the loveliest medieval cities in Italy.

Plan enough time in Siena and the surrounding areas

Siena might not be a big city, but you need to plan enough time to explore it and the nearby areas. Since Val d’Orcia and Chiantiare within easy reach and the Maremma coast isn’t too far away, there's much to explore, and a day or two might not be enough time.

So plan sightseeing stops between Amalfi and Siena and to nearby cities once you’ve arrived in Siena with a private car service like Daytrip. We’ll get you where you need to be in the Tuscan region and make your travel dreams a reality.

Remember, bars are cafes

If you need a caffeine hit and want to grab a latte or cappuccino to go during your short trip from Amalfi to Siena, you should stop at one of the bars in any of the towns along the way.

Now we know what you’re thinking. Why a bar? Well, in Italy, cafes are actually known as bars by the locals, and you will visit them to get your coffee—or tea—to go. So don’t be afraid to ask your Daytrip driver to take you to one that's known for being inexpensive and worth the money.

Plan touring around the midday break

In Italy, no matter where you go, shops close during the lunch and evening hours. This is a common custom that gives owners a chance to enjoy a mid-day siesta, or riposo, as it's known in Italy.

So, when planning your travels by train, bus, or private car service, consider that many businesses, such as butchers and grocery stores, are closed from noon to four in the afternoon and reopen at about seven in the evening.

From Amalfi to Siena by bus

Taking a bus from Amalfi to Siena might be the most cost-effective travel solution, with ticket prices starting at $5, but it can also be the most irksome. You will need to get to the Atrani bus station in Maiori from Amalfi to take a bus to Salerno.

From Salerno, you will need to take a train to the Salerno Irno station and, from there, a bus to Siena. Unfortunately, this tiresome trip can take up to 10 hours, making it a poor choice if you value your time.

From Amalfi to Siena by train

Unfortunately, taking a train to get to Siena isn’t much easier than taking a bus, which involves multiple stops and transportation changes.

For example, if you are in Amalfi, you must take a taxi to Via Nocera, which is often incredibly expensive. After taking a taxi to the train station, you will take a train to Florence. From Florence, you will need to transfer to another train, which will take you to Siena. The entire trip is cumbersome and cannot take over ten hours, which is longer than the bus!

From Amalfi to Siena by private car service

Traveling by private car from Amalfi to Siena is often the best option. Not only does it get you there in half the time, but you can book exactly when you want to travel according to your preferences, and you can even stop for sightseeing along the way!

You’ll also get to drive in a comfortable, private car with a local English-speaking driver who knows the route and can give tips and insights into what to see and do in the region. Daytrip is also an affordable option with trip prices starting at 150 euros per person.

You’ll enjoy a seamless trip from start to finish with no transfers or stopovers, making the trip significantly less time-consuming. On average, a direct trip takes only four hours and 50 minutes---much faster than the bus or train. Of course, that's if you don't stop for sightseeing at Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius, or one of our other curated sightseeing stops along the way.

Siena Cathedral

For many people, the Siena Cathedral is one of Tuscany's most beautiful churches, so if you’re planning a visit to this city, it's worth touring. This magnificent Romanesque-Gothic transitional church cannot be missed with its bold white and green stripes, tall spires, and ornate facade. The inside is even more beautiful with its impressive artwork, including Bernini, Donatello, and Michelangelo pieces.

Mangia Tower

To enjoy the best view in Siena, you must explore Mangia Tower. It soars above the other buildings in the city and is the tallest building in the medieval city. But be warned that you’ll have to earn the view, with hundreds of steps to the top, so be prepared for a mini workout.

Siena Civic Museum

Museum-lovers will want to make a stop at the Siena Civic Museum, which is the town's most important museum. The Siena Civic Museum is housed in the Palazzo Pubblico and has a significant collection of sculptures, frescoes, and paintings from the Sienese school. The most impressive 14th-century fresco “The Allegory of Good and Bad Government," was completed by the famed Ambrogio Lorenzetti and can be seen in this museum.
