Europe - Piombino bus

For several years there has been both a new and economical and comfortable way of travelling. The Flixbus company, that runs both in Italy and in Europe, has created a network of bus services that connects many cities in Europe and in Italy, with over 150 000 low cost daily connections.

You can buy your bus ticket on line, on the Flixbus app or directly from the bus driver on board.

You have a wide choice of options, and once you have read the information on our web site you will be able to plan your journey and the connections to Piombino and the Island of Elba in no time.
