Some tips for your travels
- We'd recommend always having some cash as they don't accept tips on card
- If you're flying into Pisa airport, there is a train that takes you into the city from the airport for 5 Euro and if you're heading on to Florence, you can catch the train from there.
- Pisa airport is not far from the city so you can always grab a taxi too, we took one from near the leaning tower to the airport and it was around 12 Euros.
- Pisa train station is about 20 mins walk from the leaning tower, the train station isn't central to where the tower is
- The train from Pisa to Florence takes only about an hour and it's not expensive, around 9 Euros! Tickets can be booked here:
