Pisa Airport or, as it is officially known, Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport, is the most convenient and closest air getaway for the ancient city of Pisa - the airport is within a 1 km drive from the city center. The historic city of Florence lies within an 80 km drive.

Together with Peretola Airport that serves the city of Florence, Pisa is one of the two main airports in the Italian region of Tuscany, favourite with holidaymakers and house-hunters alike.

The airport takes its official name from the world-famous scientist Galileo Galilei, whose hometown Pisa once was. Some 5.2 million passengers flew in and out of the destination last year, as it is a popular gateway into the region, especially since it has its own railway station and offers onward rail transport via Pisa's central railway station, a mere 2 km away.
