Does Uber Work in Siena? (And How Taxis Really Work)
Short answer: no Uber. Here's what to do instead.
# Does Uber Work in Siena? (And How Taxis Really Work)
Uber does not operate in Siena (or anywhere in Tuscany outside parts of Milan/Rome). Don't waste battery refreshing the app.
Official taxi
Radio Taxi Siena: +39 0577 49222. They speak basic English. Cash and cards accepted. Tariffs are metered and posted.
From the train station to the historic center
€10–€13. Always confirm 'al centro storico, Porta Camollia' or your hotel name.
itTaxi / FreeNow apps
Both work in Siena and let you pay by card in-app. Easier than calling if your Italian is shaky.
