Plan your trip to Arezzo

Every good journey starts with a good plan. In this page you will find a set of important information to help you both before and during your stay in our town.

Where is Arezzo

Listed as one of the provincial capitals of Tuscany, Arezzo is located in the middle west area of the region, drawing an ideal triangle with the cities of Siena (65Km SW) and Florence (80Km NW). Arezzo is also not far from Perugia, capital of the Umbria region (80Km SE).

The town is situated on a small hill (296m. a.s.l.) and is surrounded by four valleys: Casentino, Valdarno, Valdichiana e Valtiberina.

How to reach Arezzo

By Car

Arezzo has its own dedicated exit on A1 motorway (the highway that connects Milan to Naples). If you are coming from the Thyrreninan or form the Adriatic side you may take the SGC E78 “Due Mari Fano-Grosseto”; if you are coming from north you may take the SS69 of Valdarno; if you are coming from Grosseto, Siena or Sansepolcro (Valtiberina), you may take the SR 73 Senese-Aretina.

By Train

Arezzo is connected to the Firenze-Roma national railway line, and is also serviced by the Milano-Napoli high speed rail. The central train station is located in Piazza della Repubblica, a few steps away from the historic center.

By plane

The closest airports are: Pisa (PSA) and Florence (FLR) in Tuscany and Perugia (PEG) in Umbria. You may use national railway line connections or car rental services to cover the distance from the airport to our city.

Where to park

Arezzo parking system offers several possibilities for all kinds of vehicles.

Car

If you are planning a full day or longer stay we suggest you to use “Pietri”, “Mecenate” or “Bardaccio” car parks.  While being 10/15 minutes away from the historic center, these parking areas feature a very affordable rate. Pietri car park is located at the base of an escalator that allows a quick climb to the upper part of the town. The escalator is supplied by a free taxi service reserved for motor-impaired people.
Inside the city walls the street parking (blue lines) rate is €1,50 per hour. The majority of parking areas in the city center and in the surrounding areas is managed by Atam spa: you may check their exact rate and location on the website atamarezzo.it.

All parking areas run by Atam feature a smart payment system via a dedicated phone app called “Atam Parking”. For more info on parking in Arezzo ask by Whatsapp.
