Real pricing, transport options, and what to expect after landing. **Airport:** PSA **City:** Pisa **Country:** Italy **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa **Last updated:** 2026-07-28 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei, PSA) is remarkably close to Pisa city centre, just 2 km south. You can reach the centre in 5-10 minutes by bus, train, or taxi. However, many passengers arriving at PSA are actually heading to Florence, which is about 80 km east and takes 60-90 minutes by road or about 70 minutes by direct train. The destination you are heading to completely changes your transport calculation. ### What actually happens after landing PSA is a single-terminal airport that handles a mix of budget and scheduled carriers. It is compact and you will not spend long walking from your gate. Schengen arrivals skip passport control and go directly to baggage claim. Non-Schengen flights go through a passport check that is typically quick at this size of airport. The baggage hall is small with a few carousels. After customs, the arrivals area has car rental desks, a tourist information point, a cafe, and ATMs. It is modest and can feel crowded when several budget flights arrive simultaneously. The exit to transport is a short walk. The airport station (Pisa Aeroporto) is connected to the terminal by a pedestrian walkway called the PisaMover, a short automated people mover. This takes about 5 minutes and is the gateway to the rail network. ### Transport options explained honestly **PisaMover + train** is the recommended option for reaching both Pisa and Florence. The PisaMover is an automated shuttle from the terminal to Pisa Centrale station, about 5 minutes, and a single ticket is EUR 6.50 (Trenitalia/PisaMover published fare). From there, trains to Florence Santa Maria Novella run frequently and take about 50-80 minutes. Regional (regionale) fares are set on the Tuscany regional tariff and are revised periodically, so check the current fare on trenitalia.com before you travel; faster trains cost more. **LAM Rossa bus** runs from outside the terminal to Pisa Centrale station and takes about 10 minutes. It is an ordinary Autolinee Toscane urban ticket: EUR 1.70 bought in advance (app, tabaccheria or machine) or EUR 3.00 bought onboard from the driver. A cheap alternative to the PisaMover for reaching Pisa's station and centre. Fares are revised periodically -- check at-bus.it for the current tariff. **Taxis** queue outside arrivals. The Comune di Pisa sets predetermined fares from the airport: EUR 10.60 to Pisa Centrale station and EUR 14.20 to Piazza Duomo/Piazza Manin (tariff in force since 1 February 2023). To Florence there is no fixed fare -- the meter runs on the extra-urban rate of EUR 2.30 per km on top of the EUR 3.80 opening charge, so over 80 km the meter alone runs well past EUR 180 before extras. That is why almost nobody takes a taxi from PSA to Florence. **Pre-booked transfers** to Pisa centre cost EUR 15-30, which is hard to justify given the short distance and cheap alternatives. To Florence, transfers cost EUR 100-160 for a sedan, offering fixed pricing and door-to-door convenience for the longer journey. **Rental cars** are available at the terminal. Useful for exploring Tuscany, but parking in both Pisa and Florence is expensive and the historic centres have restricted traffic zones (ZTL) that will result in hefty fines if you enter without authorization. ### Realistic pricing expectations To Pisa city centre: - LAM Rossa bus: EUR 1.70 in advance, EUR 3.00 onboard (Autolinee Toscane urban ticket) - PisaMover to Pisa Centrale: EUR 6.50 - Taxi: EUR 10.60 to Pisa Centrale, EUR 14.20 to Piazza Duomo/Manin (Comune di Pisa predetermined fares, in force since 1 February 2023) - Pre-booked transfer: EUR 15-30 To Florence: - PisaMover + train: EUR 6.50 for the PisaMover plus the regional train fare -- check the current fare on trenitalia.com - Taxi: no fixed fare; metered at the extra-urban rate of EUR 2.30 per km, which over 80 km runs well past EUR 180 - Pre-booked transfer: EUR 100-160 To other Tuscan destinations: - Transfer to Lucca: EUR 40-60 - Transfer to Siena: EUR 120-170 - Transfer to San Gimignano: EUR 100-150 - Transfer to Chianti area: EUR 110-160 For Pisa itself, public transport is so cheap and easy that paying for a private transfer only makes sense with very heavy luggage or specific needs. Taxi and public-transport tariffs are all revised from time to time, so treat the figures above as the published rates at the time of writing and check the operator before you travel. ### Late night arrivals The PisaMover runs until late evening, typically around 12:30 AM, but check the current schedule. The last trains from Pisa Centrale to Florence depart around 9-10 PM, with later options being infrequent or requiring connections. If your flight arrives after 10 PM and you need to reach Florence, the train is unlikely to work. Taxis are available at the rank but finding one willing to drive to Florence at midnight may involve negotiation on price. A pre-booked transfer is the most practical option for late-night Florence journeys. For Pisa itself, taxis are available into the evening and the short distance means even a late arrival is straightforward. The city centre is close enough that you will be at your hotel quickly. ### Families and luggage For families going to Pisa, the bus or PisaMover and a short taxi ride are manageable. The airport is small and the distances are minimal. For families heading to Florence, the train involves managing luggage through the PisaMover, Pisa station, the train, and Florence station, plus onward transport to your hotel. With small children, strollers, and multiple bags, this is doable but tiring. A direct transfer from the airport to your Florence hotel avoids all of this. Child car seats are required by Italian law. Taxis rarely have them. Pre-booked transfers can provide car seats if you request them. For the long drive to Florence, having your children properly restrained matters because the autostrada is a fast motorway. ### Where you meet the driver The taxi rank is directly outside the arrivals exit. It is a small airport, so the rank is close. During quiet periods, you may need to wait a few minutes for a taxi. Pre-booked transfer drivers wait in the arrivals hall, typically holding a name sign near the exit. Given the terminal's small size, finding each other is not difficult. The PisaMover boarding point is accessed through a covered walkway from the terminal. Signs direct you clearly. The bus stop for the LAM Rossa is outside the terminal to the right of the exit. ### Decision helper **Going to Pisa:** Take the bus or PisaMover. A taxi or transfer is only worthwhile if you have excessive luggage or mobility limitations. The city is minutes away. **Going to Florence during the day:** The train is efficient, affordable, and frequent. Take it unless you have a compelling reason not to (heavy luggage, children, a hotel far from the Florence station). **Going to Florence late at night or with family:** A pre-booked transfer makes sense. The train options disappear in the evening and managing luggage through multiple stations with children is a lot of work. **Going to rural Tuscany:** A transfer or rental car is the only practical option. Public transport to small Tuscan towns is limited. ## Summary Pisa Airport is small, close to the city, and well connected by rail. For Pisa itself, transport is nearly trivial. For Florence and Tuscany, the main decision is whether you value the train's affordability or the convenience of a direct door-to-door transfer. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How do I get from Pisa Airport to Florence?** The most common route is the PisaMover (5 min, EUR 6.50) to Pisa Centrale station, then a train to Florence SMN station (50-80 min; check the current regional fare on trenitalia.com). Trains run frequently during the day. A direct transfer by car takes 60-90 minutes and costs EUR 100-160. **Q: How far is Pisa Airport from the city centre?** About 2 km. It is one of the closest airports to its city in Europe. A taxi takes 5-10 minutes. The bus takes about 10 minutes. You can see the Leaning Tower from the airport perimeter. **Q: Is the train from Pisa to Florence easy?** Yes. It is a straightforward journey. Buy a ticket at Pisa Centrale (machines accept cards), validate it before boarding if it is a regionale ticket, and ride to Florence Santa Maria Novella. Trains run frequently. **Q: What is the PisaMover?** It is a short automated people mover that connects the airport terminal to Pisa Centrale train station. The ride takes about 5 minutes. A single ticket is EUR 6.50 and it runs frequently throughout the day until late evening. The fare is revised periodically, so check pisa-mover.com before you travel. **Q: Should I rent a car at Pisa Airport?** For exploring rural Tuscany, yes. For visiting Pisa and Florence only, no. Both cities have restricted traffic zones (ZTL) in their centres with automatic camera enforcement. Entering without authorization means a fine for each camera you pass. **Q: How much is a taxi from Pisa Airport to Florence?** There is no fixed fare. Florence is outside the Pisa comune, so the meter runs on the extra-urban rate of EUR 2.30 per km on top of the EUR 3.80 opening charge (Comune di Pisa tariff, in force since 1 February 2023), which over 80 km puts the meter alone well past EUR 180 before extras. That is expensive for a single traveller but more reasonable split among a group of 3-4. A pre-booked transfer for the same route costs EUR 100-160. **Q: Can I walk from Pisa Airport to the city?** Technically possible, as it is about 2 km to the edge of the city centre and 3 km to the Leaning Tower. The walk takes about 30-40 minutes. It is flat and safe during the day, but there is no pleasant pedestrian path for part of the route. **Q: Are there direct buses from Pisa Airport to Florence?** Some bus services run between the airport and Florence, but they are less frequent and often slower than the train. The PisaMover plus train combination is the standard recommended route. **Q: Is tipping expected at Pisa Airport taxis?** Not expected in Italy. Rounding up by a euro is a common gesture but not obligatory. Italian tipping culture is minimal. **Q: What if I need to get to Lucca from Pisa Airport?** Lucca is about 25 km north and takes about 30 minutes by train from Pisa Centrale; check the current regional fare on trenitalia.com. By road it is 25-35 minutes. Lucca is outside the Pisa comune, so a metered taxi runs on the extra-urban rate (EUR 2.30 per km under the Comune di Pisa tariff in force since 1 February 2023) on top of the EUR 3.80 opening charge, which makes it a substantially more expensive ride than the trip into Pisa itself. Agree the fare with the driver first, or pre-book a fixed price. ## Arriving late at night at Pisa Airport **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/late-night Pisa Airport handles budget flights from across Europe, some of which arrive in the late evening. If your plane lands between 10 PM and early morning, here is what to expect. ## The terminal after hours The terminal is small and empties quickly after the last arrivals. Immigration for non-Schengen flights operates normally. Baggage claim is fast since the airport handles smaller aircraft. The arrivals area is modest. The cafe and shops close by 9-10 PM. There are no 24-hour food options. The terminal is not designed for overnight stays and becomes very quiet after the last flights. Free Wi-Fi is available. ## Getting to Pisa at night Pisa city centre is only 2 km away, which makes late arrivals far less stressful than at most airports. **Taxis** are available at the rank outside, though the number of cars decreases later in the evening. The Comune di Pisa predetermined airport fares still apply (EUR 10.60 to Pisa Centrale, EUR 14.20 to Piazza Duomo/Manin), with a night and holiday supplement of EUR 3.05 on top under the same tariff. Even at midnight, you will be at your hotel in under 10 minutes. **The PisaMover** runs until approximately 12:30 AM. If your flight lands before midnight, you can likely still catch it to Pisa Centrale station. After it stops, a taxi is the straightforward alternative. **The LAM Rossa bus** to Pisa Centrale has limited late-night service. Do not rely on it after 10 PM. ## Getting to Florence at night This is where late arrivals become more complicated. The last trains from Pisa Centrale to Florence typically depart around 9-10 PM, with very limited options after that. If your flight lands after 9 PM and you need to reach Florence, your realistic options are: **A pre-booked transfer** directly from the airport to your Florence hotel. The 80 km drive takes about 60-70 minutes at night with no traffic. This is the most reliable option. Prices range from EUR 100-160 for a sedan. **A taxi** to Florence at night is metered on the extra-urban rate (EUR 2.30 per km under the Comune di Pisa tariff), plus the night supplement -- over 80 km that runs well past EUR 180. You may need to agree a price up front or wait for a driver willing to make the journey at that hour. **Stay in Pisa overnight** and take the first morning train to Florence. There are hotels near the airport and in Pisa centre (a very short ride away). The first trains to Florence start around 5-6 AM. ## Practical tips - If your flight is scheduled to arrive after 8 PM and you are heading to Florence, book a transfer in advance. The train timing leaves very little margin for delays. - Pisa is a safe, quiet city at night. Even arriving at midnight, a taxi to your hotel is uneventful. - ATMs are available in the arrivals hall. Have some cash for the taxi if needed. - The airport area is on the edge of the city. There is not much within walking distance at night, but Pisa centre is genuinely close. - If no taxi is at the rank, there should be a phone number posted. Alternatively, your hotel may arrange a pickup. ## Taxi vs pre-booked transfer from Pisa Airport **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/taxi-vs-transfer The answer at Pisa Airport depends almost entirely on where you are going. For Pisa itself, the question is barely relevant. For Florence or Tuscany, it matters a lot more. ## To Pisa city centre The city is 2 km away. The Comune di Pisa sets the airport fares: EUR 10.60 to Pisa Centrale and EUR 14.20 to Piazza Duomo/Manin (tariff in force since 1 February 2023), and the ride takes 5-10 minutes. A pre-booked transfer for this distance typically costs EUR 15-30 and is unnecessary unless you have specific needs like a child seat or wheelchair accessibility. For this short trip, a taxi from the rank or even the EUR 1.70 bus is the sensible choice. ## To Florence: taxi A taxi from Pisa Airport to Florence has no fixed fare: Florence is outside the Pisa comune, so the meter runs on the extra-urban rate of EUR 2.30 per km on top of the EUR 3.80 opening charge, which over 80 km puts the meter alone well past EUR 180 before extras. The journey takes 60-90 minutes depending on traffic. This is a long-distance fare and the pricing is less standardized than for the Pisa city route. You should confirm the fare before departing. Not all taxi drivers at the rank will be enthusiastic about the Florence run, especially late at night when it means a long empty return trip. Availability for this route is not guaranteed. ## To Florence: pre-booked transfer A pre-booked sedan transfer to Florence costs EUR 100-160. The price is fixed, the driver expects the journey, and you go directly to your hotel address. The vehicle is typically newer and more comfortable than a standard taxi. The main advantages for the Florence route are price certainty, guaranteed availability, and door-to-door service to your specific hotel. Florence's historic centre has restricted traffic zones, and a transfer driver will know how to navigate these. ## Direct comparison for Florence | Factor | Taxi | Pre-booked transfer | |--------|------|--------------------| | Price | Metered, extra-urban rate (well past EUR 180 over 80 km) | Fixed, quoted at booking | | Availability | Not guaranteed for Florence | Confirmed | | Route knowledge | Variable | Driver knows the route | | Payment | Cash or card | Pre-arranged | | Child seats | Not available | On request | | Hotel delivery | May struggle in ZTL zones | Navigates ZTL zones | ## The train alternative For Florence during daytime, the PisaMover plus train combination costs EUR 6.50 for the PisaMover plus the regional train fare per person (check trenitalia.com for the current fare) and takes about 60-90 minutes total. For solo travellers or couples with light luggage, this is the most cost-effective option. It only loses its appeal when you factor in heavy luggage, children, late arrivals, or hotels far from Florence's main station. ## To Tuscan towns For destinations like Lucca (25 km), Siena (120 km), San Gimignano (80 km), or the Chianti countryside, a pre-booked transfer is often the only practical option unless you rent a car. Public transport to these places is limited and slow. Taxis can make the trips but the fares are metered and high for long distances. ## Bottom line For Pisa: take a taxi or bus. For Florence during the day: take the train. For Florence at night, with family, or with heavy luggage: a pre-booked transfer is the practical choice. For rural Tuscany: a transfer or rental car is your only real option. ## Arriving at Pisa Airport with children **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/family-and-kids Pisa Airport is one of the easiest airports to navigate with children. The terminal is small, distances are short, and the city is minutes away. The challenge only increases if you are heading to Florence or further into Tuscany. ## Getting through the airport The terminal is compact. Walks from the gate to baggage claim are brief. Schengen arrivals skip passport control entirely. Baby-changing facilities are available. The arrivals area has a small cafe, but bring snacks if your children will be hungry since options are limited. Trolleys are available near the carousels. The exit to transport is a short walk from the arrivals hall. ## Heading to Pisa with kids Pisa centre is only 2 km from the airport. A taxi takes 5-10 minutes. Even with a stroller, bags, and tired children, this journey is barely noticeable. The bus is also fine for Pisa, though managing luggage on a city bus with small children adds minor friction. ## Heading to Florence with kids This is where families need to plan. The PisaMover plus train route is efficient but involves: walking from arrivals to the PisaMover, riding to Pisa Centrale, navigating the station, boarding a train, riding for 50-80 minutes, arriving at Florence SMN, and then finding onward transport to your hotel. With two adults and older children, this is manageable. With toddlers, a stroller, car seats, and heavy luggage, it becomes exhausting. A direct transfer from Pisa Airport to your Florence hotel takes about 60-90 minutes by car. Everyone stays in one vehicle, luggage goes in the boot, and the driver delivers you to your accommodation. For families, the price (EUR 100-160 for a sedan) is often worth the reduction in stress. ## Child car seats Italian law requires appropriate child restraints for children under 150 cm. Taxis at the airport rank do not carry them. The short ride to Pisa centre is low-speed and brief, but for the 80 km autostrada journey to Florence, a child seat is important. Pre-booked transfer services can provide child seats and booster seats if you specify your children's ages when booking. This is the most reliable way to ensure they are available. If renting a car, child seats can be added to the reservation. Book early, as they sometimes sell out during peak periods. ## Practical tips for families - If heading to Florence by train, the PisaMover has space for strollers and bags but can be crowded. The trains have some luggage racks but limited space for bulky items. - Florence's historic centre is largely pedestrianized, which is good for families but means vehicles (taxis and transfers) may need to drop you near your hotel rather than at the door. - Tuscany in summer is hot. If arriving midday, have water and sun protection ready for your children during any outdoor walking. - If your accommodation is in rural Tuscany (a villa or agriturismo), a rental car or transfer is the only practical option. Public transport to the countryside is minimal. - The Leaning Tower is about 3 km from the airport. If you have a layover or early check-in, it is a feasible detour for families, either by bus or a very short taxi ride. ## Cost of getting from Pisa Airport to the city and Florence **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/cost-to-city Pisa Airport is uniquely positioned: right next to Pisa but used by many travellers heading to Florence, 80 km away. The cost depends entirely on your destination. ## To Pisa city centre | Transport | Price | Time | |-----------|-------|------| | LAM Rossa bus | EUR 1.70 in advance / EUR 3.00 onboard | 10 min | | PisaMover to Pisa Centrale | EUR 6.50 | 5 min | | Taxi to Pisa Centrale | EUR 10.60 (predetermined fare) | 5-10 min | | Taxi to Piazza Duomo/Manin | EUR 14.20 (predetermined fare) | 5-10 min | | Pre-booked transfer | Fixed, quoted at booking | 5-10 min | The taxi figures are the fares the Comune di Pisa has set for those airport runs (tariff in force since 1 February 2023); the bus fare is the standard Autolinee Toscane urban ticket. All of these are revised from time to time, so check the operator before you travel. For Pisa, public transport is so cheap and convenient that private transport is only justified with specific needs. The bus at EUR 1.70 is the best value for solo travellers. ## To Florence | Transport | Price (per person) | Time | |-----------|-------------------|------| | PisaMover + train (regionale) | EUR 6.50 + the regional fare | 70-90 min total | | PisaMover + train (Freccia) | EUR 6.50 + the Freccia fare | 55-70 min total | | Pre-booked transfer (per car) | Fixed, quoted at booking | 60-90 min | | Taxi | No fixed fare - metered | 60-90 min | Train fares are set on the Tuscany regional tariff (regionale) or vary with demand (Freccia), so check the current fare on trenitalia.com rather than relying on a figure quoted here. Florence is outside the Pisa comune, so a taxi is metered on the extra-urban rate of EUR 2.30 per km on top of the EUR 3.80 opening charge -- over 80 km the meter alone runs well past EUR 180 before extras. The train is the clear budget winner for individuals and couples. The transfer wins on convenience for families, groups, and late arrivals. ## To other Tuscan destinations | Destination | Distance | Train route | Transfer (approx.) | |-------------|----------|-----------------|--------------------| | Lucca | 25 km | Via Pisa Centrale | Fixed, quoted at booking | | Livorno | 20 km | Via Pisa Centrale | Fixed, quoted at booking | | Siena | 120 km | Via Florence | Fixed, quoted at booking | | San Gimignano | 80 km | No direct train | Fixed, quoted at booking | | Volterra | 75 km | No direct train | Fixed, quoted at booking | | Chianti area | 90 km | No direct train | Fixed, quoted at booking | For destinations without direct rail connections, a transfer or rental car is the only practical option. ## Group cost comparison (to Florence) The train is priced per person, so its total scales with the size of your party; a transfer is priced per car, so the same EUR 100-160 covers everyone in it. For 1 person: - Train: PisaMover EUR 6.50 + one regional fare - Transfer: EUR 100-160 (all for one person) For 2 people: - Train: two PisaMover tickets + two regional fares - Transfer: EUR 100-160 total (EUR 50-80 each) For 4 people: - Train: four PisaMover tickets + four regional fares - Transfer: EUR 100-160 total (EUR 25-40 each) Look up the current regional fare on trenitalia.com and multiply it out for your party -- that is the honest comparison, and by the time a group reaches four the per-person gap narrows considerably, with the added benefit of door-to-door service and no luggage juggling. ## Hidden costs and tips - The PisaMover costs EUR 6.50 on top of your train ticket. This is sometimes forgotten when comparing prices. - Regionale trains to Florence are cheapest but slower and can be crowded. They do not require seat reservations. - Freccia (fast) trains cost more but are quicker and more comfortable. They require seat reservations. - Florence has a restricted traffic zone (ZTL) in the centre. If renting a car, you may face fines for driving in it. Transfers and taxis navigate this for you. - There are no motorway tolls between Pisa and Florence on the FI-PI-LI road (a free expressway). This keeps taxi and transfer costs lower than distances might suggest. - Italian train tickets for regionale services must be validated (stamped) before boarding. Failure to do so can result in a fine. ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/psa/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=PSA Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
