Pisa

Pisa has about 100.000 inhabitants, and is one of the most important art towns in Tuscany. The historic centre of Pisa is roughly in the shape of a quadrilateral surrounded by 12th-century walls, with sides measuring 1,5 km. The Arno crosses the city from east to west, cutting it into two parts named Tramontana (north) and Mezzogiorno (south).

By taxy

Pisa Radio Taxi: tel.+39 050 541 600 The taxis in Pisa are run by a consortium and there is just one number for all the taxis in the City. The cabs typically stand at the train station, airport and piazza Arcivescovado (near the tower).

The venue for the conference will be Palazzo dei Congressi (Via Matteotti, 1 56124), located in the centre of the city, at a walking distance from the heart of Pisa. It stands in one of the most attractive parts of the city and, as it is only two kilometers far from the airport (Pisa airport is very close to downtown), the railway station and the exit on the Firenze - Pisa highway, it is easy to reach by all forms of transport.
