Montalcino Connections

Montalcino is well-connected to Siena; other bus connections are inconvenient but generally workable. Montalcino’s bus station is on Piazza Cavour, within the town walls. Bus tickets are sold at the bar on Piazza Cavour, at the TI, and at some tobacco shops, but not on board. Check schedules at the TI, at the bus station, or online (at www.sienamobilita.it or www.tiemmespa.it). The nearest train station is a 30-minute bus ride away, in Buonconvento.

From Montalcino by Bus: The handiest direct bus is to Siena (6/day Mon-Sat, 4/day Sun, 1.5 hours). To reach Pienza or Montepulciano, ride bus #114 to Torrenieri (3-4/day Mon-Sat, none on Sun, 20 minutes), where you’ll switch to line #112 for the rest of the way (from Torrenieri: 25 minutes to Pienza, 45 minutes to Montepulciano). Since the Montepulciano bus connection is sporadic, consider hiring a taxi (about €70 one-way). Anyone going to Florence by bus changes in Siena; since the bus arrives at Siena’s train station, it’s handier to go the rest of the way to Florence by train.
