The Pisa train station is small in scale, and mainly for commute between the coast and inland. You can take trains from here to Florence and ocean towns, and I would suggest to pay close attention to which platform to board your trains as there are different types. read more

Stazione di Pisa Centrale is a smaller train station and does not have the Pharmacia or coffee shops the train stations normally have. This one just has a couple vending machines, bus tickets & train ticket kiosks to purchase tickets from. Very close to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. About a 20 minute walk or if you take the bus, it is only a 8-10 min ride. There is also a closer train station to the Tower of Pisa that is only a 5 min walk. This station is a bit dated and older. It still does its job though. I was able to get on and off the train here just fine. When leaving to go back to Florence, originally it was supposed to be Platform 4, however, last minute got changed to Platform 10. We didn't know what was going on but lots of people who we waiting on the same platform with us starting running down the stairs and going to Platform 10. I feel like a screen stating the changes made in platforms for example would be great to have. Because, if we hadn't paid attention to where everyone went off to, we most likely would've missed this train to go back to Florence. read more

Great train station. Easy access and signage makes it easy to find your train. Walking distance to leaning tower piazza. Food close by and plenty of cafes. read more

Pisa Centrale railway station is the main railway station of the city of Pisa in Italy. Though its very small station but it's considered to be one of the most important stations in the region of Tuscany. Pisa itself is a small city. My Airbnb was hardly 1 mile away and we walked. All the platforms/binaro have lifts leading to the passageway that runs beneath them, giving step-free access to the main exit/entrance. Fast automatic PisaMover links Pisa Airport to Pisa Central Station in just about 5 minutes every day, from 6 a.m. to midnight. At Pisa Central Station, the PisaMover stop is located close to platform 14, from which travelers can easily reach the other train platforms and the station's main entrance. If you were hoping to see The Leaning Tower on exiting Pisa Centrale train station then you're going to be disappointed. Like many other 1000s tourists, Stopping off at Pisa, to see the tower, when traveling between cities is a popular option, hence a near the permanently lengthy queue for the left luggage office at Pisa Centrale. The station doesn't have left luggage lockers, you have to deposit a bag with the attendant and in the summer you may have to queue for more than an hour! read more

think station is a hot mess. we were told which bin to go to, get there, get told it's another bin. go to that bin. no wrong. ask another trenitalia staff, get told to go to another bin. no. ask another staff get told to go to another bin. the signs aren't working at half the bins. i've had ZERO problems getting around italy by train -except- for pisa centrale. would not recommend. read more

Took the train from Verona to Pisa, which was quite a trek ... but the views as we went through Genoa to Pisa were beautiful. The Trenitalia was smooth, had a little cart with food and coffee came through twice, air conditioned and outlets to charge your devices. The seating is assigned, I would say only comfortable for an hour or two (gets really cramped after that time), fold out tables. Luggage either goes behind the chairs or overhead. I would highly advise to not board without a train ticket. The staff checked our tickets 3 times during the duration of our trip. Found the train to be a bit too noisy, they should have a sign to be courteous to others on board. Trains were pretty spot on for Arrival/Departure times. Be sure to validate your ticket at the little green machines before boarding the train. As for the station, it's fairly large in comparison to the city and easy to navigate. Since we arrived around 10:30PM, you do see some sketchy people hanging around the benches or in front of the station. Just be aware and mindful of your belongings. Also, be on the lookout for people hanging around the ticket machines asking if you need help or need change as they are looking for tip, but are not station staff or being "nice". The bus station is right out front. Station is about 30 min, walking to City Centre where the leaning tower of Pisa is. You could take a bus, bike or walk- all methods work! read more

This os a smallish station but sees lots of traffic. We came from Florence, which is some 45 minutes away to see the Tower of Pisa. There are shops in this station, I saw a pastry shop, and a few others. This is the smallest train station I visited, but is just as efficient. A little messy but otherwise good, Once you get out of this station, you have to take a bus to actually reach the tower, but the stop is right outside and of you follow all the other tourist you won't get lost. Good service and punctual trains. read more

Honestly, only came to Pisa to see the leaning tower and get that obligatory photo of pushing the tower over. Otherwise, not much else to see in Pisa. If you are like me and many other tourist, this is your main train station in and out of Pisa The station is extremely ghetto, run-down, only handful of machines to purchase tickets with 1-2 people behind the desk for help. When I say a train station is ghetto, believe me, it's really dirty and ghetto because my baseline train station for comparison is your typical NYC subway station. Anyways, thought twice about writing this review because it's a train station that'll be used regardless, but key point was be aware of your suroundings, your belongings and if the ticket machine has to repetitively tell you to watch out for pick-pocketing, that's a pretty fair warning! Pisa tower is about 15 minute walk across the bridge. read more

This is a small train station but very busy since most people are traveling to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There is the automated ticket kiosks or a ticket counter to purchase train tickets. There is a small newsstand and a shop to get coffee. Taxis or buses are outside of the station to take you to the tower. It is only about a twenty minute walk to the tower. There are signs with arrows to lead you in the proper direction. If you walk, you can stop for gelato while enroute! The station seems a little messy and chaotic. read more

Yeah, you probably already know about my thoughts on railway stations in Italy and probably don't need me to say anything more about this particular place. Yes, it is hot, crowded, and chaotic, and seems to lack auto-tellers as well. Oh, and a rather unpleasant experience with one of the Italian transit police who loved to play on our ignorance also had something to do with it. Then again, you'll find a similar pig headedness with the transit police in Melbourne. read more

I didn't anticipate visiting this station so often on my recent trip, but that's exactly what happened. Either I was picking up a train here, connecting to another train, or flying through it on a direct train. The station itself isn't bad. It's fairly clean with safe and affordable luggage storage, which is nice if you've just left the airport and plan to visit the Leaning Tower. Trains arrived and departed on time. Validation and ticket machines worked fine. Decent experiences here. read more

We got to this station as the sun was starting to go down. It gets kinda schisty once it starts getting dark. A lot of vagrants hang around the entrance. On a positive note, the bus station is right outside to the buses that go around Pisa. If you go across the street, you can catch the bus that goes down by the Torre. If you don't want to wait for the bus which sometimes is irregular, you can walk. We got a little lost trying to find the Torre di Pisa because it looks like a straight shot on the map we had but it wasn't. It still was only about 15-30 min walk and we got to see more of the city by just getting a little lost. Otherwise, just watch out while you're at the train station. You probably won't get pickpocketed but just be safe. read more

Small and simple station. Its an easy, breezy,16 euro roundtrip, 45min, semi-scenic train ride from Florence to Pisa. I wouldn't do it myself, BUT if you're traveling on an extremely tight budget, I think its highly unlikely any trainstaff will check for your ticket. There didn't seem to be any workers on the way there or back. I suppose you could hide in the bathroom if you see a Trenitalia employee coming. While sitting patiently on the train for the return trip back to Florence, we noticed everyone suddenly get up to leave...apparently they decided to change the train last minute! No PA annoucement! No staff telling us...how the eff were we supposed to know? WTF? Luckily the wife and I just followed the crowd and made it back alright! :P If you're on a tight budget, don't bother buying any food or drinks at the station, there's plenty of other shops nearby for cheaper. 70 euro cents to use the Water Closest (aka Restroom). read more

Not too big and not too small... this station is just about the right size. It has a nice food court and seating area is quite big. This station is about 15 mins walk from Tower of Pisa. If you buy food, the receipt can get you in washroom for free once so pay separately for food if you are two or more to avoid paying for washroom. read more

Just FYI from this train station it's probably about a mile and a quarter to get to the Tower of Pisa which is absolutely worth the walk, but I got to say that if you decide you want to walk, like I said it is not a big deal but if for some reason you decide you want to cab it back because you're in a hurry or on that day for us it was so hot we just wanted to get back to the train station, then can just forget it for some reason no matter what I did to try to get a cab back to the train station all the cabs were already used that may have been because of it was a Saturday but just want FYI unless you're ready for 2 1/2 mile walk you want to maybe set up something to get you there and back read more

I found this station to be like all the typical train stations. Easy payment on the kiosks and screens all over the station to show oncoming trains. Bottom line...this train station is typical in Italy and has all the basic amenities to help you get from one train to another via the ticket kiosks and the tv prompts read more

Stopped by to see the Leaning Tower, and utilized the left luggage service for about 10 Euros. There is an attendant present. It was very convenient and allowed us an extra stop on our trip. read more

We took an early morning train from Milan to the Pisa Centrale Station. The journey on an older model train took 5 hours because of many stops and delays. The train station and platform looked dated. Instead of lifting heavy luggage down steep stairs we used the elevator at end of platform to reach the McDonald's located inside the food court at the station building. We had arranged to meet up with friends arriving from Rome three hours later. It's good to have familiar food for a change so far away from home. We had not eaten for 8 hours since getting up early to catch the only direct train from Milan. We were also grateful we could use the free WiFi and toilet (with paid food receipt). The restaurant layout was very basic but it's open and bright. And it got busy with local patrons. After meeting up with friends we walked to platform 14 to catch the Pisamover over to go to the airport to get our car rental. One way fare was €2,7. Then another long wait for car rental shuttle. Things moved slowly around here! We came back here to catch a train to Florence after dropping off rental car. read more

Not a very handicap friendly train station With few elevators, other train stations do that better!

Amazing service from the information office at Pisa station on 8th July. We accidentally left a rucksack on the Livorno to Florence train - we got off at Pisa to go to the airport. The man in the information office arranged for the bag to be returned by train to Pisa in time for us to catch our flight. Fantastic service - thank you!! read more
