• NH Pisa – the uncompromising quality of an international chain; the hotel is also situated directly opposite the station, though the higher price is a drawback

Buses to the centre of Pisa and to the station

An alternative and cheaper means of transport is the public bus service, although these do not go directly to the airport.

From the terminal, head diagonally left across the car park and follow the footpath to Via dell’Aeroporto. Walk along this street for about 420 metres until you pass the roundabout. Just beyond the roundabout is the “Via dell’Aeroporto” public transport bus stop. The following routes pass through here:

• Line 3+(formerly LAM Verde) – runs only from the railway station to the airport; the return journey to the city centre takes a long detour. It runs every 10 minutes from 6.10 am to 8.45 pm.
• Line 5– runs only from the airport to the railway station; the return journey from the city centre takes a long detour. It runs every 20 minutes from 6.20 to 20.20.
• Line 21– in both directions; runs every 30 minutes from 20:43 to 23:13.
• Bus timetables for Pisa are available on the website at-bus.it/lines-and-timetables/pisa.

A ticket costs 1,70 eur and can be bought at any newsagent’s. You’ll find one at the roundabout near the bus stop. You can also use the At-bus mobile app (available on:Google Play / App Store).

You can find a map of the routes and walking directions to the bus stop on the map below.
