About
About Arezzo
Arezzo is a city and comune in Italy and the capital of the province of the same name located in Tuscany. Arezzo is about 80 kilometres (50 miles) southeast of Florence at an elevation of 296 metres (971 ft) above sea level.
Arezzo's origins as a place of human habitation date far back into the Stone Age. Its history begins no later than the 4th century BC, when it was called Aretim and was one of 12 hill towns of the Etruscan League (the list also included what are now called Perugia, Chiusi, Cortona and Volterra). After the Romans took over Etruria, they called this city Arretium. In the 11th century, Arezzo was made a free commune, siding with the Ghibellines.

Getting there
Getting to Arezzo: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (PEG), about 66 km from the city centre in a straight line; Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR, 67 km) and Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (FRL, 83 km) are also within reach.
Getting around
Arezzo's historic old town is small enough to explore on foot. If you have a rental car, you can park in one of the municipal lots for under €10 for the entire day, then walk up into the historic centre. Note that Arezzo is atop a steep incline, and you will feel as though you are walking uphill pretty much everywhere. Wear comfortable shoes. ATAM runs the city bus service (there is also a "Centro Storico" line that covers the historic old town). The taxi service is efficient and not too expensive.
