Transportation to Airport from Boston City Center
Logan Intl. Airport
The city of Boston, renowned for being home to Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and world famous health care institutions, welcomes thousands of patients, researchers, and students from all over the world. The only international airport in the city is the General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, also referred to as Logan International Airport. The airport is located 5.6 km from the city center and is accessible by ferry as a transportation alternative.
Airport Buses
The Silver Line 1 bus service provides transportation to Logan International Airport from the city center. This service departs from the South Station, which is located in the city center, in close proximity to many museums and the Boston Public Garden and Theater District. The SL1 line provides free transportation to the airport. Buses 459 and 449, which pass by the Summer St. stop, close to the Congress Bridge, also provide transportation to the airport. It takes a maximum of 20 minutes to get to the airport using buses 449 and 459.
Rail
Harvard University, the city center, and Cambridge are located along the Red Line, which runs from the north of the city to the south of the city. You can use this line to transfer to a bus to the airport. You can transfer to the SL1 bus at the South Station or transfer to bus 171 at Andrew Station. You can also take the Blue Line, which can be accessed from State Street Station, to the Airport Station. The Airport Station is located in close proximity to the airport. From that station you have to transfer to airport shuttle services to get to the airport terminals.
Ferry
Another transportation alternative to get to the airport is by ferry. The dock is a 10 minute walk from the city center. The ferry takes 18 minutes to get to Logan Wharf. From there the Massport Route 66 provides shuttle services to the airport terminals.
Taxi
Taxis are easy to find anywhere in the city and they are a convenient transportation alternative to get to the airport. Since the airport is located in such close proximity to the city center, about 5 km away, it is also considerably close to other important parts of the city like Harvard University, MIT, and the University of Massachusetts.
Car
The city center can be confusing to navigate but there are two tunnels that run under the Boston Canal, making the airport easily accessible by car. One of these tunnels is closer to the city center and is where the SL1 buses connect to the Red Line. To connect to this tunnel, which is located to the east of canal, take Summer Street, to Congress Bridge. After passing the bridge you can access the tunnel from Congress Street. The other tunnel is accessible by taking Merrimac Street north to New Chardon Street, which is on the right. This road will pass by Haymarket Square and take you directly to the west tunnel. This tunnel connects you to George Visconti Road, which provides direct access to the airport.

Transportation to Pisa City Center from Airport
Pisa Intl. Airport
Pisa, reminiscent of a seaside town, is a decent, bustling and small town, so it is very easy to explore on foot. You can also rent a bike, but you should be aware that the cobblestone streets can be quite crowded. The motorcycle, which is the first to come to mind when thinking about Italy and transportation, is a very convenient vehicle for exploring the city. Motorcycle parking areas, which you can see on almost every curbside, make your job easier. Renting a car is also an option. You can see the offices of many car rental companies in the city. But if you are not thinking about going to the surrounding cities and villages, you do not need an automobile to see the city center and tourist attractions.
Public transport in the city is mostly provided by bus. You can buy your bus tickets from buffets, markets, and newspaper vendors. Ticket price is 1.20 euro for one way. When you get on the bus, you must be sure to validate your ticket on the devices inside. If you are traveling with a ticket that has not been activated, you can pay a high fine. The main bus stop is located at S. Antonio Square and the buses running between distances are leaving from here. Florence is only 60 kilometers from Pisa. The train is very comfortable and you can go to Florence in a short time. It departs many times during the day. Once you have received your ticket from the train station, you should definitely remember to validate your ticket before you board the train. Frequent checks are made during the travel, and if you are traveling with a non-validated ticket you will receive a penalty of approximately € 40.
Pisa International Airport is just 1 kilometers from the city center. For this reason, it is possible to reach the city center in a very short time. You can use municipal buses and airport shuttle services, or take a taxi. Some hotels also have an airport shuttle service. If you want to add different routes to your trip, you can rent a car at the airport.
Bus
You can catch buses to the city center from bus stops at the airport terminal exit. Buses depart every 10 minutes. You can get your ticket either at the terminal or at the bus stop. One way ticket price is 1.20 euro.
Taxi
Taxis are waiting for customers in front of the airport arrival terminal exit door. Taxi transportation from the airport to the city center costs between € 6.50 and € 10.00. You can reach the city center and the main train station by taxi in less than 5 minutes. If you are traveling during the weekend, on public holidays or between 22:00 and 06:00, you will be charged an extra 2.50 euros.
Car Rental
At the airport there are offices of some car rental companies. From here you can rent a vehicle that suits your budget comfortably. If you wish, you can make your car ready when you arrive in Pisa by using the internet before your journey. Renting a car to explore the city center can be unnecessary in this small city if you only intend to stay in Pisa. On the other hand, you can go to the surrounding villages and towns with the car you rent and you can reach Florence easily in a short time. You must remember that you must have an international driver's license to be able to rent a car.
Hotel Shuttle
Some hotels such as Pisa Airport Accommodation, Antica Dimora Pisa, B & B Piccolo and Pisa Apartment offer free airport shuttle service to their guests. Likewise, some of the hotels in the city offer this service at a fee. You may wish to check this in advance with your hotel and make them send a vehicle to meet you at the time of arrival of your aircraft.
Shuttle
You can easily reach the city center by using the private shuttle service between Pisa International Airport and the city center. Some shuttle service companies also provide transportation to centers such as Florence, Siena and Lucca.
