Arezzo Travel Guide: 84 reviews and 216 photos
Arezzo is a small Tuscan city about 65 km east of Florence, and easily accessible by a fast Rome-Florence train. As both a major Etruscan and Roman town,
Arezzo was a successful independent republic until the battle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines finally got the best of it (they picked the wrong side!)
Today it has evolved into a beautiful, charming center well worth a visit.
In fact, it is so attractive that Italian filmmaker Robert Benigni selected Arezzo as the location to film many of the scenes of his award-winning movie "Life is Beautiful." Aside from its cinematic fame, Arezzo is also known as a place to spot fantastic frescoes, jewelery stores. and browse amongst fine antiques at its monthly Fiera Antiquaria market on the Piazza Grande.
Travel Info:
By train: between 1.5 and 2 hours from Rome Termini station. Not even one hour from Florence's station.
By Bus: excellent bus connections to other Tuscany destinations! Consider making Arezzo your base, if you can find an affordable place to stay.
- Pros:Charming atmosphere, good small sights
- Cons:no left luggage, a bit expensive
- In a nutshell:The highlight of my Tuscany trip
