How to get to Pisa
Visitors travelling to Italy will find numerous and competitive flights. Unless you're pushed for time, train travel is a great way to enter Italy from within Europe. Buses are numerous but can't really compete with the convenience of the train.
Pisa has an international airport with daily flights from the most important european cities, as well as to Rome, Milan, and other important Italian cities.
The timetable of incoming and outgoing flights together with a list of carriers is available at the Pisa International Airport website (Galileo Galilei Airport, PSA).
Otherwise, you may fly to Florence (Amerigo Vespucci Airport, FLR) and transfer to Pisa by train (1.5-2 hours, including transfer to the railway station Firenze S. Maria Novella). Florence is quite well connected with most European cities. The airport is approximately 3 km from the center and is connected to it by train, bus and taxi.
Pisa's railway station is on the line from Turin to Rome. There are many connections also with Florence. The train schedule is available from Trenitalia. Please keep in mind that in Italy, before getting on the train, you must stamp your ticket using some small yellow machines available in the station.
If you arrive in Pisa by train or by plane, you may use the shuttle bus service to and from the airport and the station that most of the hotels offer.
