The Department of Computer Science is located within the Polo Fibonacci, which provides laboratories, classrooms, student spaces and offices for researchers and lecturers.
By plane
Pisa has an international airport offering daily flights to London and Munich, as well as to Rome, Milan, and other major Italian cities. The timetable of arrivals and departures is available on the Pisa airport website.
The airport is located on the outskirts of the city, approximately 3 km from the centre. The most convenient way to reach the centre is usually by taxi. Taxis are found near the “Arrivals” exit of the terminal. If no taxis are available, you can call the 24-hour radio taxi service at 050 541600.
As an alternative, you can take the Pisa Mover to the Railway Station (the station can also be reached on foot from the airport in about 20–25 minutes). From Piazza della Stazione (Railway Station square), you can transfer to bus number 4 and get off at the stop in Via Filippo Buonarroti (see the Pisa and airport map.)
By train
Pisa’s railway station lies on the Turin–Rome line and is well connected with Florence. The train schedule is available on the Trenitalia website.
Please note that in Italy, before boarding the train, you must validate your ticket using the small yellow machines located inside the station.
To reach the Department, you can take city bus number 4 and get off at the stop in Via Filippo Buonarroti.
Alternatively, the Department is within walking distance from the station (about 20–30 minutes).
From the Central Railway Station, the Department can also be reached on foot in approximately 20–30 minutes. To do so, cross Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and enter the main pedestrian street, Corso Italia, following it along its entire length. Then cross Ponte di Mezzo and the small square with the Garibaldi statue, and continue into Borgo Stretto. Proceed straight ahead, crossing the area of via Oberdan / Borgo Largo (the street without arcades). Then turn right into via San Lorenzo and follow it until you reach via Filippo Buonarroti and Largo Bruno Pontecorvo. Opposite is the entrance to the Polo Fibonacci, which houses the Department of Computer Science.

By car
Pisa is near the intersection of two highways: the A12 (north–south, Sestri Levante–Livorno) and the A11 (east–west, Pisa–Florence).
Take the “Pisa centro” exit, then follow the SGC Fi-Pi-Li towards Florence. Exit at “Pisa nord-est” and follow the directions in the south-est map.
If you are coming from the north, you may prefer to exit at “Pisa Nord”, follow the Aurelia road towards Pisa city centre, and then follow the directions in the north map.
Please note that Pisa is a small city with several pedestrian areas. Parking can be challenging, and most parking areas require payment at meters.
