Private Transfer from Rome to Pisa: Door to Door to the Leaning Tower
A Rome to Pisa private transfer covers about 360 km (224 miles) in about 3.5 to 4 hours, door to door from any Rome address or Fiumicino Airport (FCO) to your hotel or apartment in Pisa, to Pisa Airport (PSA) or to Livorno cruise port. Ciao Transfer charges one fixed price per car, tolls included: from €800 for a Business Sedan (1–3 passengers), €830 for a Standard Minivan and €920 for a Business Minivan (up to 7 passengers). From Fiumicino Airport it is slightly cheaper, from €780, because the airport sits on the coastal motorway. Available 24/7 with English-speaking drivers.
The train is a good option for one or two people travelling light, but Pisa Centrale station is about 1.5 km from the Leaning Tower. A private car takes you, your family and your luggage straight to your door, with no train to catch and no taxi queue at the end.

Arriving in Pisa: The Old Town, the ZTL and Where We Drop You
Most of Pisa’s historic centre is a limited traffic zone (ZTL), and the area around the Leaning Tower is pedestrian. Visitors arriving by train get off at Pisa Centrale, south of the Arno river, and walk about 20 minutes or take a bus to Piazza dei Miracoli.
With a Rome to Pisa private transfer you don’t need any of that. As a licensed NCC operator, we are authorised to enter Pisa’s ZTL, so your driver takes you to the door of your hotel or apartment. Only where the street is pedestrian-only, such as the streets around the Leaning Tower, do we stop at the closest point and help you with the luggage.
About Pisa: The Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli
Pisa is famous for Piazza dei Miracoli, the “Square of Miracles”, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the white marble Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the monumental Camposanto stand together on a green lawn. Building on the tower began in 1173, and it started to lean during construction because of the soft ground. You can climb it, but entry is by timed ticket, so book in advance.
Beyond the tower, Pisa is a lively university city on the Arno river: walk along the Lungarni, see the small Gothic church of Santa Maria della Spina, and visit Piazza dei Cavalieri, home of the famous Scuola Normale university.
- Luminara di San Ranieri: every 16 June, thousands of candles light up the palaces along the Arno.
- Gioco del Ponte: a historic contest on the Ponte di Mezzo bridge, on the last Saturday of June.
Planning your visit? Tickets for the Leaning Tower and the monuments of the square are sold on the official website of the Opera della Primaziale Pisana.
