LAY OF THE LAND
Arezzo is conveniently reached
by train
on the Rome-Florence line, with almost
hourly departures from Rome (a 2- to 3-hr. trip) or nearly half-hour schedules
from Florence (a 45- to 90-min. trip). The Arezzo train station is next to a tourist
office, and only a few blocks from most city hotels.
If you're
driving,
you'll find that Arezzo is centrally located just off the A1
autostrada, 75km (45 miles) from Florence, 200km (120 miles) from Rome. Free
parking is available in the lots north of the city walls. Amazingly enough, a set of
escalators will take you from the lot into the city, where you'll pop out of a tun-
nel right next to the Duomo.
Arezzo has three different
tourist offices,
each with English speakers and a
