Here is a complete itinerary of our day trip from Rome to Pisa:
| 8:00 am | Courtesy Shuttle from Melia Roma Hotel to Ottaviano Metro Station |
| 8:30 am | Arrive at Ottaviano Station (identified by red M in a white square) |
| 8:45 am | Metro Train from Ottaviano to Terminal Station (Stazione Termini) |
| 8:55am | Arrive at Terminal Station (Metro drops underground, go above the ground, purchase tickets from the counter, check the train number at Departure screens and Wait at the terminal) |
| 9:45am | Train departs to Pisa (Inter City Plus) |
| 12:57pm | Arrive at Pisa |
| 1:05pm | Out of the Station and Start walking towards the Tower of Pisa (Plan for 25 minutes walk, Take Via Francesco Crispi and Via Roma and there is no need to buy a city map  |
| 1:30pm | Arrive at Leaning Tower of Pisa (La Torre). The entrance and climb up the tower is controlled and you can purchase tickets by the time slot. |
| 2:20pm | Start walking back to the Station |
| 2:45pm | Arrive at the Station (There is McDonalds at the station for a quick lunch or a better variety at Terminal Station) |
| 3:00pm | Buy the return tickets (A better option is to buy return tickets from the original destination or from the Station at Pisa before starting out to visit the monuments. This will ensure a confirmed seat because the station stops selling tickets few minutes before the scheduled departure.) |
| 3:45pm | Train departs to Rome |
| 7:30pm | Arrive at San Pietro Station |
| 7:55pm | Walk to Ottaviano Metro Station |
| 8:30pm | Bus from Metro Station to Hotel |
| 9:00pm | Arrive at the Hotel |
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the main attraction of this city. The streets were pretty deserted (may be because of Sunday) and it almost felt that the majority of people moving around were tourists. You can always spend extra time in the city or at the festive environment around the monuments. This allows you to take the 5:00pm Inter City Plus to reach back Rome around 8:15pm. As always, it’s recommended to check the train schedule at Trenitalia.com.

dear mr arun gupta
can you tell me….how much is the train ticket from pisa to rome???….is there any other way or kind of transport from pisa to rome???

The train ticket cost can be foundfrom:
http://orario.trenitalia.com/b2c/TimeTable?stazin=Rome&stazout=Pisa+Centrale&datag=14&datam=01&dataa=2008&timsh=08&timsm=09&x=21&y=11&lang=en&nreq=5&channel=tcom
or you can alter your travel dates. For example a train starting from Rome @ 8:30am and arriving Pisa @ 11:31am costs 41.50 euros for 2nd class and 59.40 euros for first class. If you choose InterCity plus (start @ 9:46, arrive @ 12:57pm – faster & less travel time) then the standard rate is 27.50 euros. Look around the website for different options and then price your option. Good luck!

Can I purchase these tickets using credit card at the counters?. is it suggested to crry cash or having an international cc in Rome is good enough for expenses
Comment by Prantik — April 2, 2009 @ 7:40 am
Our friends are suggesting us to buy eurail pass. Whats yr suggestion. Will this pass hold good for any train travel in the selected countries independent of the company operating the service?
Comment by prantik — April 2, 2009 @ 7:51 am
I purchased the tickets using Amex credit card on the counter. You need to investigate eurail pass depending upon your travel requirements.

My daughter, son-in-law and their 12 year old and 8 year old children will be traveling to Rome in August and would like to visit Pisa. What is best way to get to the area where the monuments are from Pisa station other than by walking?
Thanks
