Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Perugia "San Francesco d'Assisi" (PEG) · ~53 km from the center
There is no published fixed fare for the Perugia airport-Spoleto route (about 53 km, a 45-50 minute drive): it's best to agree on the price in advance by calling the local radiotaxi or booking an NCC (chauffeur-driven hire car) service. Alternatively, Spoleto can be reached by train from Perugia station, which is close to the airport.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Spoleto's historic center is protected by a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL A, meaning "Zona a Traffico Limitato," with access points at Viale Matteotti, Piazza San Domenico and Piazzetta San Lorenzo, plus the ZTL A1 subzone), with access hours that vary by season as set by the Comune. Taxis, being public service vehicles, may enter and travel through the ZTL even when access is prohibited to unauthorized private cars.
Practical tips
- The taxi rank is located in front of the train station (Piazza Polvani) and is staffed from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM; at night and during the Festival dei Due Mondi (late June-early July, peak season), it's best to book in advance.
- Fixed fares are set by the service for certain routes (for example, station-Piazza Garibaldi or station-old town); for other distances the meter applies, with a night surcharge between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
- Taxis, as public service vehicles, may enter the historic center's ZTL even when access is prohibited to unauthorized private cars: they remain the most convenient way to get all the way to Piazza del Duomo or to hotels in the center.
