How to get here
The roads joining Spoleto to the major cities are fairly smooth. It takes an hour and a half to get to Spoleto from Rome, about two hours from Florence. Things get slightly tought by train especially when going North. To get to Florence it is usually necessary to change in Foligno and then again in Terontola. To get to Rome or Ancona trains are, instead, fairly regular. The airport of Sant'Egidio near Perugia has two flights a day to Milan. From April through to September, Spoleto is also connected to Monteluco thanks to a bus service (SSIT) leaving from the train station with a normal city bus route. If going to Campello, Foligno or Montefalco you must catch a bus in Piazza della Vittoria. Train and bus timetables are available at the "Azienda di Promozione Turistica" (Tourist Office) in Piazza della Libertà..
