Lucca and Pisa from Livorno
Livorno is a regular port of call for cruise ships, giving passengers access to day trips to Florence, Lucca and Pisa. If you've been to Florence before, Lucca is a great and much less crowded alternative. On this trip, Cathy took the train there from Livorno station (a 15 minute taxi ride from the port). As the train stops at Pisa en route to Lucca its easy enough to combine both cities in one day.

*Differences Between Regional and Long Distance Trains in Italy*
First off, there are two types of trains: One that goes long distances using the high speed rail, like going from Rome to Florence.
The other train is the regional trains. These go shorter distances like Milan to Como.
*How to Book a Regional Train in Italy*
Example train routes:
Milan to Como
Florence to Pisa
- The Regional trains don’t need to be bought in advance.
- Once you’re at the station there will be ticket machines to purchase the tickets.
- The prices are fixed so it isn’t cheaper if you buy in advance. There are no assigned seats so if you want a seat get on the train right when it arrives.
- Also don’t forget to validate your train ticket before hopping on. If you don’t do this, you’ll get fined!
The regional trains make it super easy to do little short one day trips to another city.
*How to Book a Long Distance Train in Italy*
The below is the cheapest and easiest method to book a long distance train from two cities such as Venice to Florence.
- All seats on these trains are reserved.
- I found that buying my ticket from Italiarail.com was the easiest to use. Some say it could be cheaper if you are buying two or more tickets. I’ve looked on other sites and it was the cheapest I could find at the time.
- The website charges a small service fee of 3.50 euros per transaction. HOWEVER, if you book it with Seat61.com, you can email them afterward to get the service fee refunded.
Here is a list some other sites you could compare prices with:
italiarail.com
loco2.com
trenitalia.com
If you are traveling with two people I suggest getting seats facing each other on the side.
* The Difference Between First and Second Class Seating*
Standard seating:
- Decent space to put luggage
- Cloth seats
- Comfortable
First Class seating:
- 25 euros more/person on avg.
- Leather seats
- A bit more leg room
- Free drink and snack
- Extra room for large luggage
Overall, I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost.
*Common Italian Train Station Names (Translated English to Italian)*
Rome: Stazione Terimini
Venice: Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia
Florence: Firenze Santa Maria Novella
Milan: Milano Centrale
For Rome the main station you should take is Station Termini because it is walking distance to all the sights. Roma Ostiense and Roma Triburtina stations are all on the outskirts of the city so you would have to take a local train or taxi into the city center.
Here are how long the train takes from one city to the next:
Rome to Florence 1 hour and 32 minutes
Venice to Florence takes 2 hours and 5 minutes
Florence to Milan takes 1 hour and 41 minutes

Pisa 2012
One of the outstanding day trips that you can enjoy from Florence is a journey by train over to the city of Pisa, famous, of course, for its Leaning Tower.it is an easy train ride -- it just takes one hour to get from the center of Florence into Pisa.You could spend about three hours in Pisa on your visit and see a lot of fine sights in addition to the Tower.
You could get from the train station to the Tower by taxi or by city bus, or better yet, walk.It is a wonderful walk that only takes about 30 minutes -- about 1 mile -- and you go right through the main shopping street of town, the Corso Italia.Even if you are there on a Sunday afternoon as we were, the pedestrian street will be filled with local people, and yet most of the stores are closed.
The road then crosses the Arno River and gives you wonderful views looking in both directions at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.. This leads directly into a very old part of the city, picturesque buildings, arcades over the sidewalks, outdoor restaurants and lots of people. In another 10 minutes, you will reach the famous Tower.
If you want to climb the Leaning Tower you should check with your hotel desk for instructions, as the daily number of entrances is strictly limited. Be sure to also visit the magnificent Romanesque cathedral and baptistery, which too many day-trippers overlook in their rush to see the tower and get back on the bus. Another advantage of going on your own by train is that you can take your time in this Field of Miracles, and then hop the city bus when you are ready to return to the train station for the hour ride back to Florence.
