Travel
Siena is
not directly served by any national or international airport. To reach us, you
will have to fly to either Florence or Pisa, then take a bus or a train to
Siena. For most international connections, especially for low cost flights, you
are most likely to choose Pisa. You can reach Siena via train. You can find the
schedule here:
From Pisa
Aeroporto, you will have to change twice, in Pisa Centrale and in Empoli. You
can buy tickets for the whole trip in Pisa Aeroporto. If you land in Firenze
“Amerigo Vespucci” Airport, you will have to take a shuttle bus to the main
railway station Santa Maria Novella (one trip every 45 min). From there you can
go by train (see link above) or by bus (lines 131O and 131R):
To avoid
misunderstandings, please notice that for some reason Siena public bus company
is called “Train”.
The venue
of WoSS9 is Complesso S. Niccolò, Via Roma 56, third floor, room 356. It is
only a hundred meters away from Porta Romana, at the Southeastern tip of the
historical city center. You will know the place by the big marble gate on which
you can read, perhaps not surprisingly, the words “Ospedale psichiatrico”.
Accomodation
Siena is a
highly touristic town and accomodation is not always cheap or easy to find.
Student residences operated by DSU Toscana offer short-term accomodation to
visiting students, at about 15-20 euros per night (double or single room,
respectively). Requests must be filed by using the following online form (in
Italian):

Glosses of Italian words:

One important proviso. DSU Toscana only assigns rooms that have not been assigned to resident students. For this reason, requests for accomodation can be filed not earlier than one week before the arrival. Any earlier request will not be processed.
