Be sure to check the days of the week that train goes to Lucca. We tried to do this and it didn't run on the day we were there, but I can't remember the day of the week: maybe Monday.
Here's an estimate from my notes on how long it takes to do this:
Pisa / Lucca (allow total 1 ½ hour minimum for one way trip ship / Lucca or vice versa). See schedules:
•Livorno Centrale train to Pisa Centrale is 15 minutes;
•Pisa Centrale to Pisa San Rossore is about 5 minutes;
•Pisa San Rossore to Lucca is 20 minutes;
•Lucca to Pisa Centrale – 22 minutes, then Pisa Centrale to Livorno Centrale – 15 minutes
•Bus back to ship’s port bus is approx. 1 mile
•Port bus back to ship is less than 3 miles

My husband and I would like to take a trip to the Accademia Museum (for the David statue, etc.) I would reserve my tkts. beforehand. We don't want a long day on a tour bus or with a big group. Can we do this on our own without spending a small fortune? We were trying to do this and be back on the ship by mid-afternoon at the latest. Thanks for any help you can give us.
