Campobasso
How to Get Around Campobasso
Getting Around
Campobasso is walkable in the centre and steep everywhere else.
The new city is a flat grid and is easily crossed on foot.
The old town and the castle are a continuous climb on steps and cobbles, about twenty minutes from the main square.
Parking is straightforward by Italian standards and mostly paid in the centre.
The station is a short walk from the centre, on a slow branch line.
Buses connect the villages of the province on school and work timetables, which are of limited use for a day trip.
A car is effectively necessary for Saepinum, Pietrabbondante, the Matese and the coast.
Roads in the province are winding and slow, and snow closes the higher ones in winter.

Cost compares the options for each route rather than quoting a fare: inexpensive means the price is not a factor in planning, moderate cost means a real line in the budget, and the expensive option is one worth weighing against the alternative. Fares change from year to year; the ranking between them does not.
