How to book a taxi in Città di Castello
Updated: July 8, 2026 · Province of PG
Città di Castello doesn't have a dedicated radio taxi: head to a taxi rank (station, main squares) or book a private transfer.
In Città di Castello there doesn't appear to be a single citywide radiotaxi number verifiable through official sources: the most reliable approach is to ask your hotel or B&B for an up-to-date contact, call the IAT, the tourist office (075 8554922), or head directly to the taxi rank in Piazza Garibaldi, in the historic center. The main Italian taxi-booking apps (itTaxi, appTaxi, Wetaxi, FreeNow) do not currently cover the city, unlike nearby Perugia, Assisi and Gubbio.

Practical tips
- The taxi rank is in Piazza Garibaldi, in the historic center, near the train station: with no verified citywide radiotaxi number, it's the safest place to find a car without booking ahead.
- The historic center is regulated by a new three-zone ZTL (limited traffic zone) with electronic gates, activated during 2026: taxis, as public service vehicles, are generally allowed in even where entry for private vehicles is banned or restricted.
- During events such as the Festival delle Nazioni (chamber music, late summer) or the Tiferno Comics comic exhibition (autumn), taxi demand increases: it's best to arrange one in advance through your accommodation.
