Pisa Airport to Florence: Route and Drive Time
Florence is 84 km east of Pisa Airport. The usual road is the Fi-Pi-Li, the dual carriageway that links Florence, Pisa and Livorno along the Arno valley, and the drive takes 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. The A11 through the Lucca and Prato side is the other way in; which of the two is used depends on the traffic and on the part of Florence you are going to.
Most of the difference comes at the Florence end. The Fi-Pi-Li reaches the city from the south-west, and the approach roads and avenues around the centre are slow at the morning and evening peaks. An address on the western side, towards the Cascine, comes before a hotel east of the Duomo.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Give the hotel's street with your flight number, and the route is chosen for that address.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at Pisa Airport
For Florence, Pisa has one practical advantage on arrival: a single terminal with one arrivals area, so there is no terminal to guess. Once your bags are off the belt, you come out into that hall, and the drive east starts from the car park outside.
For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules. For a buyer flying in on the eve of Pitti Uomo with sample cases, the car and the cases leave together, with no change at Pisa Centrale.
A new arrivals building at Pisa was completed in summer 2026 and comes into use after ENAC testing; the current arrivals hall is then turned into departures. Building work goes on into 2027.
Arriving at Your Hotel in Florence
Coming from Pisa, the car reaches Florence from the west, so the first addresses on the way are on that side: the Cascine park, the streets around Santa Maria Novella station and the Oltrarno across the river. Beyond them the historic centre is a ZTL with camera gates, and many hotels near the Duomo and Santa Croce lie inside it; for those, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you the nearest point a car can reach.
For a fair, the district you need is on the same western side. The Fortezza da Basso and the two congress palazzi next to it are a few minutes on foot from Santa Maria Novella, so a hotel near the station suits a week of fair days.
Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If your first night is in the hills around the city rather than in it, in Fiesole or towards Greve in Chianti, give that address: the car then has no reason to cross the centre.
From Florence Back to Pisa Airport
Leaving Florence, the useful thing to know is how long the road takes, not when to leave: 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes to Pisa Airport, longer in heavy traffic. The pickup time you choose is confirmed with the reservation.
The morning peak around Florence adds most of the uncertainty, so an early flight from Pisa means an early pickup from the city. Name your airline when you book; Pisa has one terminal, and the drop-off is the same for all of them.
On the way back, Pisa can be more than an airport. With a late flight, you can book a transfer from Florence to Piazza dei Miracoli and a second, short one from the Leaning Tower to the terminal, 4 km away. If the stay ends on the coast instead, Lucca is 77 km from Florence and makes a last night on the way to Pisa.
