Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No station at the walls; Castellina Scalo on the Siena to Empoli line is 3 km away, and Autolinee Toscane buses on the Siena to Poggibonsi road stop below the hill.
Tickets · Autolinee Toscane
Monteriggioni is a single walled circle you cross in ten minutes; it is a stop on the way, not a transit destination

On foot
- ·The wall walk gives the whole castle in twenty minutes; pair it with lunch, this is a half day at most
- ·The Via Francigena passes straight through: walking in from Siena or toward Colle di Val d'Elsa is the scenic arrival
Taxis and driving
- ·The car park sits right below the gate; the easiest hill town stop on the Siena road
