Pisa
Pisa is known around the world for the Leaning Tower and the Piazza dei Miracoli, but it is also a lively university city on the Arno and a gateway to Lucca, the Versilia coast and the Cinque Terre. A private chauffeur from Geneva brings students, families and visitors with luggage straight to the right address in one leg.

Chauffeur's tipIf you are flying home from Pisa airport afterwards, book that one-way transfer here and simply leave from Pisa at the end of your trip.
The route from Geneva Airport to Pisa
From Geneva, the chauffeur drives through the Mont Blanc Tunnel into Italy and down the Aosta Valley on the A5 motorway. The A26 then crosses the plain and the Apennines to the coast near Genoa, and the A12 coastal motorway runs south-east past Rapallo and La Spezia, then along the flat Versilia coast past Viareggio to Pisa. The views of the Apuan Alps above the marble quarries of Carrara accompany the last part of the drive.
Arriving in Pisa
The historic centre is partly a limited traffic zone, so the chauffeur drops you at the nearest authorised point to your hotel, residence or university building. Coaches and cars reach the Piazza dei Miracoli area from its outer side, a short walk from the tower. AirportsTransfers.ch also drives guests to Lucca, the beaches of Versilia, Livorno port and villas in the Pisan hills, or collects you for the journey back to Geneva.
Practical advice for the journey
Nearly six hours on the road means at least one break, often around La Spezia. Students moving with many bags should choose the V-Class van, which carries up to ten bags, or declare extra items when booking. Child seats are available on request. Summer traffic on the A12 near the Cinque Terre and Versilia can be heavy, so allow a margin for fixed check-in times. Your return trip can be booked at the same time.
