Day trips from Pisa

Lucca

25 min by regional train

A perfectly preserved Renaissance city enclosed by massive, tree-topped 16th-century walls you can bike or walk along. Lucca's charming cobbled streets, Romanesque churches, and elegant piazzas offer a more relaxed, affluent contrast to Pisa.

Cinque Terre

1 hour 15 min by regional train to La Spezia, then local train

The iconic string of five colorful fishing villages clinging to cliffs along the Ligurian coast. A UNESCO site, it's famous for hiking trails, seafood, and breathtaking seaside scenery.

Florence

50-80 min by regional or high-speed train

The cradle of the Renaissance, Florence is an art and architecture powerhouse. While it deserves more than a day, it's easily accessible from Pisa for a whirlwind tour of its world-famous museums and monuments.
