you have to pay a toll fee, the gasoline stations are open 24
hours a day. On the other streets and in the city the opening hours
are as follows: 7.30 am - 12.30 pm and 3.30 pm - 7.30 pm. Outside
of these hours you have to go to the self service station where
you can pay with 10, 20 or 50 Euro notes.
The historic centre of Siena is closed for private cars. We suggest
using the parking places around the centre. Near the school for
charge: "Stadio", "Fortezza". At the car park
office, called "Il campo" , you can ask for a monthly
season ticket which you can use for most of the parking areas.
We recommend to ask for the green insurance card at your automobile
club and advise you not to leave any articles of value or radios
in your cars (insurance for theft).
