How to reach the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
LAM Rossa bus (€1–3, ~10 min, stop "Torre 1") – the cheapest option.

Florence to Pisa – regional or intercity. What to choose?
Regionale & Regionale Veloce
- Avg. duration: around 50 minutes to 1 hour
- Best for: Almost everyone — day-trippers, budget travellers, and anyone heading straight to the Leaning Tower.
- Onboard perks: Air conditioning and luggage space; no café car, so bring your own water or snack.
- Worth knowing: Fares are fixed — buying on the day costs exactly the same as booking in advance. No seat reservation required; just hop on and sit where you like. Regionale Veloce makes fewer intermediate stops and shaves a few minutes off the journey.
Intercity
- Avg. duration: around 1 hour
- Best for: Those who prefer assigned seating and a slightly more comfortable ride for a modest price premium.
- Onboard perks: Assigned seats in First or Second Class, air conditioning, luggage racks, and a bar service on most services — a step up from Regionale without the dynamic pricing of high-speed trains.
- Worth knowing: Unlike Regionale fares, Intercity tickets are tied to a specific train and seat reservation is required — but prices are still considerably lower than Frecciarossa or Italo. Intercity trains do not stop at Pisa San Rossore, so if the Leaning Tower is your destination, the Regionale remains the smarter pick for that final kilometre advantage.

Enjoy the view
The Florence–Pisa line passes through the gentle hills and vineyards of the Arno valley — sit on the left side of the train departing from Florence for the best views. The route also skips through the small town of Empoli, a worthwhile stop in its own right if you're planning a slower, more exploratory trip through Tuscany.
