For Arezzo: Take the Autosole south, or the SS 69 south. For Siena: The Autosole north to the Certosa exit, then the Superstrada for Siena. For the Chianti: SS 69 towards Figline then the Provincial Chianti road towards Ponte agli Stolli. Then Greve in Chianti. For Vallombrosa: Take the Provincial road to Reggello then Vallombrosa.

Another type of itinerary, less cultural, but nevertheless much appreciated (especially by American and Japanese tourists), which has been constantly growing over the years, is the tour of the clothing factory outlets in the area, located right in Incisa. It is a wonderful opportunity to purchase designer clothing at factory prices.
