Valdarno Superiore, for its strategic position, between Florence and Arezzo and at the entrance of the Chianti hills, is considered the gateway to the heart of Tuscany.

But how to arrive in Valdarno?
The best solution is by car but the area is well connected by train, here’s all the solutions:

By car

There are two exits of the Autostrada del Sole (A1) arriving here:

Valdarno: recommended for those coming from the south (Arezzo, Rome)
Incisa-Reggello: recommended for those coming from the North (Florence, Milan)

By train

With regional fast trains it’s possible have fast links to Florence and Arezzo in about half an hour from the three largest stations located in the middle of the valley and are:

Figline Valdarno
San Giovanni Valdarno
Montevarchi – Terranuova

On the site of Trenitalia there are the complete timetables.
