By train: PisaMover and regional

The PisaMover reaches Pisa Centrale in 5 minutes (5 euro), then the regional train to Florence takes about an hour (9 euro). 65-80 minutes in all with one change and your bags in tow; you arrive at Santa Maria Novella, then taxi or on foot.

By bus: the direct line

Direct buses to Florence cost about 10 euro and take 70-80 minutes, with a few runs a day and arrival at the station. Handy if the timetable matches your flight.

By taxi: on the meter

There is no flat fare to Florence: the ride is metered, about 150 euro depending on traffic and time, from the rank outside.

By private transfer: door to door

Your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall with a sign, the flight is tracked and the fixed per-vehicle price is locked at booking. To the hotel door inside Florence's ZTL, where private cars cannot enter; Lucca, Chianti, Siena and Versilia too.

Train and bus: timetables and limits

The PisaMover and regional trains cover the day until evening; after 10 pm connections thin out and the direct bus has few runs. The real limit is the change at Pisa Centrale with luggage and the last mile from Santa Maria Novella to your hotel.
