Pisa International Airport (Aeroporto Internazionale di Pisa) is named after the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei and is located just 5 kilometers from the city center. You can get there by train or taxi.
Today, Pisa Victory and S7 Airlines operate direct flights to Pisa Airport from Moscow - ticket prices are significantly lower than, for example, to Rome, so you should consider the option of arriving in this city. From Pisa you can easily get to Rome (see instructions), as well as to Florence, Siena, Arezzo and La Spezia. In the article we will consider in detail all the options.
There are special trains to the center of Pisa from the airport, but you can also take a taxi, which will immediately take you to the hotel.
By train
Traveling only 6 minutes by train from the airport to Pisa Central Station (Pisa Centrale) will especially appeal to children, as there are no drivers in modern Pisa-mover shuttles. Trains are fully robotic, with large panoramic windows that run every 15 minutes from 4:30 a.m. to 01:30 a.m.
A one-way ticket costs only 2.7 euros and is bought at a kiosk directly at the airport or in a special machine next to the peron.

By taxi
The cost of a taxi ride from Pisa airport is fixed, but depends on the destination. Stazione di Pisa Centrale costs 9 euros, and Piazza del Duomo costs 12 euros.
It is worth considering the extra payments on weekends - plus 2.60 euros, for each piece of luggage 0.65 euros.
Alone by car
Right at the airport, you can pick up a pre-rented car and go on your own journey through the small, fabulous cities of Italy. For example, a Volkswagen Polo class car will cost you only 230 euros for 10 days - it is much more profitable, faster and more interesting than traveling by public transport between small cities.
