1. Get your Train Tickets at the Airport.

When you land in Pisa, there will be a Train Information Office window near the Arrivals Hall of the airport. From there, you can purchase your tickets to Monterosso or Levanto. You can also buy it online on Trenitalia.com. Use the English version site to see specific train schedule, prices, and departure/arrival times.

Altogether, even if you will have to change in La Spezia, the trip will be smooth and fast, less than 2 hours

2. In case you did not buy your ticket in advance

just get the People Mover service directly at the ticket machine near the train platform
At less than 40 metres from the Passenger Terminal at the Pisa Airport, you can find the new, high-speed, fully automatic People Mover service for direct connections between the Pisa Centrale railway station and the airport. The service is available every day from 6:00 AM to midnight at 5/8 minute intervals.

3. When at Pisa Train Station

If you did not buy the tickets online or at the airport counter, you can still go to the Station Ticket office and buy them online. Of course we encourage you to plan your trip in advance (eventually considering flight delay times).

VALIDATE your train tickets before you get on board 

Remember, any time you take a train in Italy, you need to have it validated by the auto-stamping machine (usually a green squarish box, around the train platforms) before you get on the train.

Slide the ticket into the machine, you’ll hear it get stamped, and then take the ticket with you onto the board.

This is not requested for tickets bought online that bear the QR code.

The train stations has screens on the platforms telling you which track (“binario” in Italian) your train will be departing from.

4.  Once you reach Monterosso train station

if you don’t have yet a place to stay check our Monterosso vacation rentals or call our office, Cinque Terre Riviera, then take the stairs down to the main street.
