Getting to Pisa
By plane: Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA) has direct flights from UK airports with Ryanair (London Stansted and others) and easyJet (London Gatwick). The airport is right on the edge of Pisa city centre, a 10-minute walk or short taxi ride.
By train: Pisa Centrale station has frequent connections across Tuscany.
Getting home from Siena
By plane: Siena has no airport of its own, so most visitors travel back to Florence Airport (FLR) or Pisa Airport (PSA) by bus or train (both around 1.5-2 hours, usually with a change) to catch a flight home. Florence is generally the more frequent and direct connection.
By train: Regular trains and coaches run from Siena to both Florence and Pisa; services can involve a change, so allow extra time before an early flight.
