International Airport and to the one of the not-so-far city of
Florence, Pisa can be easily accessed from most Countries.

Daily flights connect Pisa Galilei international
airport with several national hubs (e.g. Milan, Rome), as
well as with Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Frankfurt,
London, Madrid, Munich, and Paris.
Pisa airport is only 5
minutes away from town. The best way to travel from the
airport to your hotel is probably by taxi.

provides direct connections with Amsterdam, Barcelona, Basel,
Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Munich, Nice, Paris, Timisoara,
Wien, and Zurich.
Florence airport is located 4km out from the city centre.
The railway station Firenze S.M.Novella can be reached:
- by taxi (in about 15 minutes);
- by taking the bus shuttle Volainbus, which leaves
every 30 minutes from the airport
(the ticket costs 4 € and it must be bought

Pisa railway station provides frequent direct connections with
many Italian destinations, including Genoa, Florence, Rome and
Turin (see the official
timetable).
There are three train stations in Pisa:
- Pisa Centrale: it is the main one, located in downtown;
- Pisa San Rossore: located near the Leaning Tower;
- Pisa Airport.
You should avoid Pisa San Rossore, since it is a small
station with no bus nor train connection.
Instead, from both Centrale and Airport you may easily
get a bus to the town center (the ticket is pre-paid, and
should be bought at a local vendor or vending machine;
its cost is roughly one euro), or a taxi to your hotel
(the fare should be less than ten euro).

| Coming by car: |
|
Pisa is near the intersection of two highways:
- A12 north-south (Sestri Levante - Livorno),
- A11 east-west (Pisa - Florence)
Exit at "Pisa centro" and follow the
indications towards the center of the town. You can visit the
official page of the Italian
motorway network to view traffic prediction and
advices. Please remember that Pisa is a small town with
several pedestrian areas. Parking may be a problem and
most parking areas are with pay-meters.
