Getting around
Arriving
L'Aquila. A slow branch line reaches L'Aquila; TUA coaches from Rome (about 100 minutes, frequent) are the practical arrival, terminating near the centre.

Validate when boarding.
The rebuilt centre is walked; buses matter for the Gran Sasso cable car base at Fonte Cerreto.
On foot
- ·The 99 spouts fountain, the basilica of Collemaggio and the castle ring the reborn centre; reconstruction cranes are part of the honest picture
- ·The Gran Sasso funivia lifts to Campo Imperatore, the little Tibet plateau; check wind closures
Taxis and driving
- ·The A24 from Rome makes it easy; the centre is a ZTL, park at the Collemaggio side
