IN THE CITY
Bus
Moving around in Pavia isn’t that difficult such as other cities: a dense network of busses will allow you to reach any place in the city without big troubles.
To know the schedule of every bus we advice to visit the website http://pavia.autoguidovie.it/it/l/urbano-pavia/index and click on “Linee e orari” (on the left) > linee urbane> Pavia and then choose the bus number you want to know.
The price of the standard ticket is 1.30€ and has a 70 minutes validity, but thanks to an agreement between AUTOGUIDOVIE SPA and the University all the students can buy an annual pass for just €20,00 (for further information ask to the Erasmus office).
We warn you that the last bus in the evening is around midnight, if you live far from the city center we hope you like long walks!
Bicycle
As an alternative you can get a bicycle, the perfect means of transport in Pavia! We advise to buy an used one and buy also a thick chain and lock ad also to secure the frame to a solid place (not just wheel) because the theft of bikes are quite recurring.
Furthermore there is a service of bike sharing called “pavia in bici”, active 24/7. For further infos visit:

OUTSIDE THE CITY
If you want to move into other cities, the best mean is the train: for prices and time schedule visit the website: www.trenitalia.it be sure to select the option “visualizza tutte le soluzioni” if you don’t, there will be shown only the intercity and frecciarossa trains (which are the most expensive).
