The station is at the southern edge of the city center, about 2 km far from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The taxi rank and the bus stop for urban routes can be found outside the railway terminal.

By car

Pisa is near the intersection of two highways: A12 north-south (Sestri Levante - Livorno) and A11 east-west (Pisa - Florence). Pisa is also connected to Florence through the SGC Fi-Pi-Li freeway (Strada di Grande Comunicazione). If you arrive from the north-south direction, exit at “Pisa Centro” of the A12. If you arrive from the east direction, exit either at the “Pisa Nord” of A11 or take the A12 connection and exit at “Pisa Centro”. If you arrive from the east through SGC Fi-Pi-Li exit at “Pisa Nord-Est”.

Most of the historical center of Pisa is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), so only authorized vehicles can access this zone. The city center offers a limited amount of parking areas with pay-meters. Therefore, the use of parking areas outside the city center is recommended. A large parking-exchange lot free of charge can be found in Via Pietrasantina. It is easily accessible from the Pisa Nord highway exit and it is provided of a shuttle bus service (with a 5-minute frequency and a daily ticket of 1 euro) takes you to the central railway station.
