rome2rio

rome2rio helps you discover how to get anywhere by searching flights, trains, ferries and driving directions.

Traveling to Sienna in Tuscany? A Google Maps search from San Francisco to Sienna returns no results. Orbitz and Kayak.com won’t let you input anything but a large city or airport as your destination. rome2rio displays options of flying to Florence, Bologna or Rome and taking the train to Sienna: http://www.rome2rio.com?San+Francisco/Sienna

rome2rio can also save you hundreds of dollars. The top Orbitz result for Quebec City to Brussels is often $500 more expensive and 10 hours longer than the top rome2rio result; rome2rio suggests flying direct to Paris and taking a high speed train to Brussels.

rome2rio is based in Australia and has been developed by two ex-Microsoft engineers who love to travel. The site was borne out of frustration by the lack of metasearch for non-flight travel. rome2rio has comprehensive worldwide airline and driving direction coverage, and train routes in Europe, China and India; further expanding that coverage is the next big focus of the startup.
