Pisa to Florence for €9...
-
Regional trains run from Pisa Centrale to Florence SMN (the main station in Florence city centre) at least twice an hour through the day. Some are Regionale Veloce trains taking 48 minutes, others are plain Regionale making more stops and taking between 1h13 & 1h21.
The Regionale & Regionale Veloce trains are comfortable and usually air-conditioned, they have toilets and plenty of luggage space. Being local trains they are 2nd class only, there's no 1st class. There are no seat reservations, you sit where you like.
Tip: If you're visiting the Leaning Tower, some trains start from Pisa S. Rossore station which is a bit closer to the tower, see map of Pisa showing Leaning Tower & stations. However, trains from Pisa Centrale are much more frequent.
-
Pisa to Florence costs around €9. This is a fixed price good for any train, unlimited availability, it cannot sell out.
-
Buy tickets at the station from the staffed ticket office or from the self-service machines and hop on the next train. Or buy online at the same price, which merely saves time at the station, using either www.raileurope.com, www.italiarail.com or www.trenitalia.com. These sites sell the same tickets at the same prices.
1. www.raileurope.com is easy to use, it's written in plain English, it can be used in €, £ or $, small booking fee.
2. www.italiarail.com is also easy to use, it's in plain English, it can be used in €, £, $ & Aus$. Their small booking fee will be refunded if you email seat61@italiarail.com after you book. It can be cheaper than Trenitalia.com for 2 or more people travelling together as explained here.
3. www.trenitalia.com is fairly easy to use but it uses Italian-language place names and has a few quirks, so see this advice on using it.
-
Ticket validation: If you buy at the station they give you an open ticket, so you need to validate it before you board the train in the little green validator machines, see the photo here. Once validated, tickets are good for any train in the next 4 hours.
If you buy a regional ticket online it comes pre-validated for 4 hours starting from the time of the train you buy it for - so if you miss that train, or change your mind and want a later one, you can simply hop on any train leaving in the 4 hour after the train you originally selected.

Pisa to Rome...
-
There are two significantly different routes from Pisa to Rome:
Option 1, Pisa Centrale to Florence SMN by regional train then from Florence SMN to Rome Termini by Frecciarossa or Frecciargento train over the modern high-speed line at up to 300 km/h (186 mph). Total journey time between 2h48 and 3h05.
Option 2, Pisa Centrale to Rome Termini by direct train using the classic conventional line through Livorno & Civitavecchia. The best trains on this route are Frecciabianca trains taking 2h56, others are comfortable InterCity trains taking 3h27, a few are slow Regionale Veloce local trains taking over 4 hours.
Option 3, just to complete the picture, there are one or two direct Pisa-Rome Frecciargento trains every day routed via Florence then over the Florence-Rome high-speed line taking just 2h15. A great option if their timing suits you, but the early morning and evening departures are aimed at Italian business travellers rather than tourists.
The Man in Seat 61 says: "I'd choose option 2, as a direct train is the better choice if you have luggage and kids. Ideally choose a Frecciabianca although the older InterCity trains are fine. Option 3 is great if the timings of the one or two direct high-speed trains suit you, but there are only two departures per day and these aren't ideally timed for tourists.

Check times & buy tickets from Pisa Centrale to Rome Termini at either www.raileurope.com, www.italiarail.com or Italian Railways' own site www.trenitalia.com. These will show all options, so browse the search results with brain engaged.
All 3 sites sell the same tickets, all offer ticketless travel for Italian intercity & high-speed trains, you simply print out your booking reference or show it on your phone. Regional trains tickets are printed out.

Pisa to Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi, Capri...
-
There are two significantly different routes from Pisa to Naples:
Option 1, by regional train from Pisa Centrale to Florence SMN then a Frecciarossa or Frecciargento train over the modern high-speed line from Florence SMN to Naples Centrale at up to 300 km/h (186 mph), total journey time as little as 3h41. This is the route I'd normally recommend...
Option 2, from Pisa Centrale to Rome via the conventional route through Livorno & Civitavecchia, then Rome to Naples either on the new high-speed line or the classic conventional line. This still involves a change of train, so option 1 above is better as it's much faster.
Option 3, just to complete the picture, there are one or two direct Pisa-Naples InterCity trains every day taking 5h40, early morning and mid-afternoon. Much slower than option 1 as they use the conventional (non-high-speed) line for both Pisa-Rome & Rome-Naples, but if you aren't in a hurry and positively insist on avoiding any change of train, you may want to seek these out.

Pisa to Siena for €11...
-
Regional trains link Pisa Centrale with Siena at least twice per hour through the day with one easy change of train at Empoli, total journey time around 1h44, fare around €11 one-way.
-
No reservation is necessary or even possible, tickets for regional trains have a fixed price and unlimited availability so you can always just turn up, buy a ticket & hop on the next train. You sit where you like. The Regionale & Regionale Veloce trains are comfortable and air-conditioned, they have toilets and plenty of luggage space. They are 2nd class only, there's no 1st class.
If you're visiting the Leaning Tower in Pisa, some trains start from Pisa S. Rossore station which is closer to the tower, see map of Pisa.
In Siena, the station is at the foot of the hill and it used to be a steep trek up to the old town. However, there's now a series of modern escalators and moving walkways that ferry you almost painlessly to the top of the hill, from where it's just a minute or two's walk to the Porta Camollia at the entrance to the old town. From the Porta Camollia it's a pleasant 15 minute stroll to the famous Piazza del Campo.

Pisa to Paris from €48.90...
Option 1, Pisa to Paris by daytime train. The scenic option...
-
Step 1, travel from Pisa Centrale to Turin Porta Susa in as little as 4h05 with one easy change at Florence SMN.
You travel from Florence to Turin by Frecciarossa at up to 300 km/h (186 mph) with cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi.
Turin is a great city, one of Italy's most under-rated, so personally I'd plan a stopover, even of just a few hours. Luggage lockers are available.
Pisa to Florence costs a fixed-price €9, Florence to Turin starts at €19.90 in 2nd class or €29.90 in 1st class, those fares vary like air fares.
Book this at www.raileurope.com or www.thetrainline.com, making sure you arrive in Turin at least 1 hour before your chosen onward trains leaves. Booking opens up to 4 months ahead.
-
Step 2, travel from Turin Porta Susa to Paris Gare de Lyon on one of 3 daily TGV high-speed trains in around 5h40, see the timetable here.
If you want to go from Pisa to Paris all in the same day you'll need the afternoon TGV leaving Turin Porta Susa shortly after 16:00. Though an overnight stop in Turin then a morning TGV to Paris is worth considering!
The TGV has a cafe-bar, power sockets at all seats & free WiFi. The journey takes you from Italy into France through the Alps via Modane. There's great scenery, mostly enjoyed at low speed - only the last 2 hours of the Turin-Paris journey is made on a high-speed line. See the train photos, scenery photos, travel tips & video here.
Fares start at €29 in 2nd class or €44 in 1st class. Fares vary like air fares, so book ahead.

Tip: You may have problems booking journeys which involve a change of train within Switzerland and which therefore involve a Swiss domestic element.
For example, Pisa to Zermatt involves a Brig to Zermatt Swiss domestic sector. Pisa to Interlaken involves a Spiez to Interlaken Swiss domestic sector. Another example, Pisa to Lucerne is easy to book if the chosen journey uses one of the few direct Milan-Lucerne trains, but other departures involve a change at Arth-Goldau which means a Swiss domestic Arth-Goldau to Lucerne sector is involved. The Italian ticketing system cannot access fares or tickets for Swiss domestic journeys, Raileurope.com can source Swiss tickets through its connection to the French system, but these won't be print-at-home so need to be posted and can't be posted to non-UK addresses.
The solution is to split the booking! Book Pisa to the interchange point in Switzerland (in these examples, Pisa to Brig, or Pisa to Arth Goldau) then buy the Swiss domestic element at either www.thetrainline.com (keeping all your bookings in one place, small booking fee) or the Swiss Railways website www.sbb.ch which gives print-your-own tickets. Not rocket science, once you know what the issue is!
