Pisa is well served by low-cost carriers like Ryanair and easyJet, often at lower fares than flying directly into Florence — making it a common entry point even for visitors who never intend to properly explore Pisa itself. A private transfer from Pisa to Florence takes about an hour through scenic Tuscan countryside, a comfortable trade-off for many for the fare savings.
