You can buy a ticket from the airport information desk or the ticket machine for €1.20* (about 95p) or direct from the driver for €2* (around £1.60). Taxis are metered.

What to expect in Pisa

Pisa is one hour ahead of Bristol and the currency is the Euro (€). Pisa has warmer weather than Bristol, with an average temperature of 23°C during July and August. Bear in mind temperatures can soar as high as 29°C, so you'll want to pack a hat and plenty of sunscreen. If you're visiting during the winter you can expect average temperatures of 7°C and lows of 3°C. Pisa is slightly cheaper than Bristol, but is by no means a budget destination. You can expect to pay about £45* for a three-course meal for two and just over £3* for a pint of local beer. Coffee is pretty cheap: a cappuccino should set you back no more than £1*.
