Pisa Airport to Florence (2026)

Step by step

1. Exit arrivals, follow signs to "PisaMover." 2. Buy PisaMover ticket (€5, machines or app). 3. Take PisaMover to Pisa Centrale station (5 minutes). 4. At Pisa Centrale, buy a regional train ticket to Firenze Santa Maria Novella (€8.70, Trenitalia machines — look for "Firenze SMN"). 5. Board the train (runs every 30 min, 60-80 min journey). 6. Arrive at Florence SMN, 5 minutes walk from the Duomo.

Total cost and time

€13.70 total. 80-100 minutes door-to-door (including waiting for the train). Fast, cheap, reliable. No booking needed — regional trains have open seating.

Alternatives

Direct bus (Autostradale/Terravision): Pisa Airport → Florence SMN. €7-14, 70-90 min. Sometimes cheaper, sometimes slower. Traffic on the A11 autostrada can add 30+ minutes.

Private transfer: €100-130 for 1-3 people. 70 min. Worth it for groups of 3-4 arriving late when trains have stopped running.

💡 The Pisa stop: If you have 2+ hours between landing and needing to be in Florence, stop in Pisa for 1 hour. The Leaning Tower is a 15-minute walk from the train station. See it, take the photo, grab a quick lunch, continue to Florence. Don't waste a whole day on Pisa — but a 1-hour drive-by is worthwhile.
