Terminals

Pisa Airport only consists of one terminal building, all of which contains all the necessary departure and arrivals facilities. The airport is not open 24 hours; instead it opens just before the first flight arrival and closes just after the last flight departure. The arrival and departure gates are located on the ground floor of the terminal. Likewise, here you will also find the tourist information office and baggage reclaim area.

Two check-up areas exist – check-in A and B. Check-in A is located on the ground floor of the terminal building, whilst check-in B is located at an adjacent building next to the terminal. Throughout the terminal you will have information screens that will guide you to the correct check-in desks – with information being provided at least two hours before departure.

Airport Facilities

Within the terminal, a selection of coffee houses, shops and restaurants are available for your enjoyment. The majority of these are located on the ground floor, but equally you’ll find some on the first floor. On the ground floor you’ll also find a currency exchange office, in addition to a police and first aid office. For internet access, head to the first floor and look for the DevItalia Internet Point – three internet work stations are also present. One is on the first floor, with the remaining two on the ground floor. A bank is available at the terminal should you wish to withdraw any money or make a transaction.

How to get to and from Pisa Airport

From the airport you can reach Pisa city centre in little more than 10 minutes by car. Simply follow the road signs that say “Pisa Centro” along the motorway Pirenze Pisa Livorno, and then take a left on the Via Ponte Piglieri. If you’re planning on heading to Florence with your car hire from Pisa Airport, then you should take the Firenze Pisa Livorno motorway, with the drive taking around an hour.

If you’re not collecting your rental vehicle at the airport, then you have the option to travel into Pisa by train, bus or taxi. A bus terminal is located outside the terminal arrivals which provide direct links between the airport and Pisa city centre. Tickets can either be purchased at a ticket machine or tourist information office – located in the terminal. If you’re looking to reach Pisa by train, then a shuttle bus to the train station can be boarded outside the terminal building. Along with a train connection to Pisa, there is also a train route to Florence five times per day - these stop at Ponteder and Empoli along the way. A light-rail system known as Pisamover, is available linking the airport to Aurelia and central Pisa.

Parking Tips

There currently exists four car parks at Pisa Airport. These consist of one short-stay car park, a multi-level car park, a west car park and an east Long-stay car park. Directly outside the terminal arrivals is the short-stay car park, here you can park up to 15 minutes free of charge. Paying for the car park is either at the car park reception or at one of the pay machines. The long-stay car park is a cheaper alternative if you are planning to leave your car for longer periods of time.

Parking in the city of Pisa itself when you rent a car from Pisa Airport is relatively straight forward. Outside of Pisa city centre there are two park & ride car parks available - these are Parcheggio del Brennero and Parcheggio Via Pietrasantina. Within downtown Pisa there are other multiple car parks, with Parcheggio di Piazza dei Miracoli being one of the largest and most popular.

On-street parking is harder to come by, however, not impossible if you arrive early enough. Parking spots marked with a blue line are paid car parking bays. A relevant pay machine will be available along the street. A parking spot marked with a white line is free to park, whilst a parking spot marked with a yellow line is reserved for residents or other reasons. Please also note that the closer you are to the city centre, the more expensive your parking will be.
