From Pisa Airport to the train for Lucca
If you fly into Pisa to start the Via Francigena in Lucca, plan a change at Pisa Centrale. The Pisamover shuttle covers the airport leg. Look up the onward rail journey to Lucca separately for the day you land.

Stay on the shuttle to the railway station
The shuttle also stops at the park-and-ride facilities. Coming from the airport, stay on board to the railway terminus. The operator gives an average ride of about five minutes. Build in time to collect luggage, get through the turnstiles and wait for a shuttle.
Read which legs your ticket covers
If your rail ticket starts at Pisa Centrale, check how you will pay for the airport leg. Pisamover says authorised Trenitalia ticket offices can also sell the shuttle together with a rail journey. The place names printed on your ticket tell you which sections you bought. At Centrale, use the railway departure board for your train to Lucca.
Work back from the last useful arrival
For an evening flight, find the latest rail option that gets you to Lucca before your accommodation closes check-in. Then find the shuttle that would get you to the railway station in time. Leave room between landing and that shuttle for baggage and the walk through the terminal. Check the operator’s notices for maintenance on the day.
Your plan, step by step
- Find the onward train for the date you land
- Check whether your ticket includes the shuttle
- Compare the final arrival with your accommodation’s check-in time
