Cortona by Car

By car, whether going north from Rome or south from Florence, take the A1 autostrada and exit at " USCITA VALDICHIANA " which is also the main exit for Perugia. On leaving the tollbooth, turn right. After about 1/2 kilometer (.3 Mile) bear right at the sign for Perugia and onto the Siena-Perugia freeway, heading east. After 3 kilometers (2 miles) take the exit for Cortona and follow this road until you reach the village of Camucia at the foot of the Cortona hillside. Follow the signs that lead you up the hill to Cortona.

Cortona by Train

Take the Direettrain (direct mainline train) for Milan-Bologna-Firenze-Roma and get of at Terontola-Cortona station or the Camucia-Cortona station.

The Terontola and Camucia stations are very close to each other. The Terontola station is 1 1 km. south of Cortona and the Camucia station is 5 km. south west of Cortona. There is bus service to Cortona from the stations and taxi service is usually available.

The Terontola station is the larger of the two with a coffee/snack bar and has more scheduled arrivals and departures. It is 194 km. from Rome (about 2 hours, 10 minutes) and 122 km. from Fiorenee (about 1 hour, 20 minutes).

You can view the official timetable and purchase your train tickets with a credit card by visiting the Trenitalia web site.


While in Cortona you can go to the tourist office with the " i " logo on Via Nazionale, 42 to ask about scheduled arrival/departure times and purchase tickets.

Cortona Cortona has regular trains that take you directly to Arezzo, Florence, Bologna and Milan in one direction, or Orvieto, Rome, Naples and Amalfi in the other. National express trains stop frequently at the railway station in Camucia at the bottom of the Cortonese hill, or even more frequently from Terontola station (further south). Perugia can be reached by train from Terontola station quite quickly, via a branch line, and Siena via another branch line from the Arezzo station, about 20 minutes north of Cortona.

CAMUCIA AND TERONTOLA railways station are connected by hourly buses to the center of Cortona (the bus terminal is in Piazza Garibaldi). Bus tickets can be bought at all tobacco shops, newspaper stands, but not on the buses themselves. So remember to buy your tickets in advance and always punch the ticket after getting onto the bus (there's an automatic time puncher on every bus). Taxis can be hired from the Terontola and Camucia railway stations, or in the center of Cortona in Piazza della Repubblica or Piazza Signorelli.
