Arezzo Train Station
Arezzo's mainline station: the departure hub connecting the Apennine tour to Florence and Rome by train.
Arezzo is a prosperous Tuscan city with its own rich artistic heritage—home to Piero della Francesca frescoes and a famous monthly antique market—but for this tour it primarily serves as the transport hub for departure. Its mainline railway station connects easily to Florence (under 1.5 hours) and Rome (around 3 hours), making it the practical gateway for onward travel after the hiking adventure concludes in nearby Sansepolcro.
