When in Italy... Pisa's Galileo Galilei Airport to Florence

For both luxury accommodation and cheap hotels and bed and breakfasts in Florence, Italy the Venere website is recommended. You can choose your budget and the quarter of Florence you wish to stay in and you will get a list of available properties for the selected period. Guest opinions help you choose your hotel in Florence.

From Pisa's Galileo Galilei Airport the coach company Terravision provides buses to Florence that connect to every incoming RyanAir flight.

The ride to Santa Maria Novella takes around 70 minutes during day time and slightly less at night, when traffic is less intense.

Tickets for the Terravision buses from Pisa to Firenze can be bought during the flight, but also from the driver of the shuttle bus itself. On the RyanAir website a link to the Terravision bus company can be found.

After Santa Maria Novello the bus continues to Florence's own Vespucci Airport.

Both from Galileo Galilei Airport and from Pisa's main railway station there are trains to Florence.

The price is the same, both coach and train cost 5 Euros to the center of Florence, but the coach tends to travel faster.

A disadvantage of traveling by coach is that Terravision is a commercial company and it will not drive off if every seat on the bus is not taken.
