My Boyfriend and I are traveling from Rome to Florence to CT to Venice at the beginning of May. We are planning to get a 3 day Italy pass to train 3 days during our trip. We are not sure the best way for us to stop and see Pisa for a few hours on our train trip from Florence to CT. Any suggestions? Do the non-regional trains stop at Pisa along the way to La Spezia? (we are staying in Levanto near CT).
Thanks.
we did ct to pisa to florence. no passes, just checked out the times and bought tickets. we stopped in pisa on our way to florence to see the tower (a few hours) we stored our bags at the train station (rick has details in the book) checked out the train schedules and walked to the tower and back and caught the train to florence. piece of cake !! hope this helps, enjoy !! good luck :):)
buying a rail pass is probably more expensive than buying tickets as you go or all at once upon arrival in Italy. Furthermore it doesn't bring any convenience; for the hi-speed lines you'll still need to make seat reservations (at an additional cost).
