Okay so I decided that it would be easier if I took a day trip to Pisa from Florence...would it be better to buy my train ticket in Florence or should I book it ahead of time?? I am booking all of my other trains ahead of time but this trip seems minor so would it be easier to book it there???
Thanks for the help.

Bret, this question has been answered several times recently, mainly in the Itinerary section if you wanted to look there for details.
No need to pre-purchase tkts, just buy them on the day of travel as the trains are very frequent.
And it will more likely be a half-day trip, not a full day.

Yeah, half a day is more than enough to see Pisa. Other than the tower, the duomo etc there's not a huge amount to see - think I did the entire city in around 3 hours.
The trains from Florence (Firenze) to Pisa are local trains, so you'd probably be ok buying tickets on the day.

Yep, unless it's a Friday or the day before a public holiday (you get a lot of Italians travelling on home on those days) then you'll be fine. It's so not an issue as the number of tickets aren't restricted for these trains (no reservations required) so on those busy days it can be standing room only. Having said that, you're usually fine first thing in the morning and will get a seat (not that it's a long journey) so just buy tkts on the day of travel and pick the next train that suits. |

Okay thanks. Good to know, I am just trying to make sure I know every little detail about my trip, so I don't run into any problems!
