% TRAVEL INFORMATION
% ---------------------------------
Pisa is one of the most famous Italian towns, well-known for its
Leaning Tower and for its medioeval monuments and atmosphere; it
is located near the coast of Tuscany, less than an hour drive
from Firenze. Pisa has an international airport, with daily
connections to several European towns. Some of these connections
are operated by "budget" airlines such as RyanAir, Hapag-Lloyd
Express or AirLibExpress, which may make travelling to Pisa very
inexpensive. See http://ecir03.isti.cnr.it/travel-info.html for
detailed ECIR-03 travel information.
