Getting there

Air
The easiest and most obvious way to get to Lanciano is to land in Rome, and go by car or bus to Lanciano. There are several airlines going directly to the two airports in Rome. The main airport of Rome is Fiumicino. Most of the regular airlines are landing there, including SAS. Other airlines that sometimes have good offers to Roma, Fiumicino are Lufthansa and KLM.

Sterling and Norwegian are landing at Roma, Ciampino. These companies collaborates so you will most likely find the same flights on the two pages. We are usually very satisfied with Sterling. These are lowcost companies, but that doesn’t mean that they are always cheaper than the normal companies. Return tickets for anything less than 1500 NOK are good deals from Oslo. However, if the price is getting close to 2000 NOK, normal airlines might be a better solution. Lufthansa and SAS will often be able to offer you prices around 2000 NOK. A good advice is to search for tickets at http://www.kelkoo.no/

Other destinations than Rome are also possible. Ryanair has started direct flights from Sandefjord to both Milano (Bergamo) and Pisa. These airports are far away from Lanciano, so the transportation to get to Lanciano might surpass what you save on the flight tickets.

The closest airport to Lanciano is Pescara (30 km). Pescara is also a Ryanair destination, but there are no direct flights from Norway. Just from London Stansted and from Frankfurt Hahn. As it looks now, it is not possible to combine any flights from Norway with those flights without having to spend a night on the way down, but it seems possible through Frankfurt for the return.

Bus to Lanciano
The busses to Lanciano go from a bus station called Tiburtina. From Fiumicino you can take a train directly to this station. From Ciampino there are different options, the easiest way is maybe to take a direct bus to Termini Central Station (those connected to the air companies) and then take the tube to Tiburtina bus station. Otherwise you can take a regular bus to Anagnina, then take Metro A to Termini and change to Metro B toward Tiburtina. Outside you will find the busses to Lanciano. The company that goes directly to Lanciano is Di Fonzo, you should buy the ticket at the desk or on-line before you get on the bus.

Train to Lanciano
If you have a lot of time to spend, it is possible. www.trenitalia.it

Car from Norway
For anyone that is not from Northern Norway, it is a long way to drive. However, as I understand it there are some people from Telemark that are not scared of the distance either.

Hi Gro!
I did a short research.
Seems like Dubrovnik is only connected with Bari.
While Split is connected with Ancona or, even better, Pescara (different companies on the web).

Maybe you can get better information in a travel agency.

In case, Bari is connected to my region by train. About 4 hours www.trenitalia.it

Let me know if you need more info, ok? And also if you want meet for a "coffee".

:-)

Kinetic watches are considered as great investment and energy-saving
gadgets, but the solar-powered models can easily compete with them.
They choose brand name designer watches that double as status symbols.
Some economical brands include Invicta watch and Orient
watch, and then the price can reach into the very expensive range depending on the embellishments or
the prestige of a specific brand.
