Top ways to enter Pisa

  • Pisa Airport (PSA): Small, but busy and modern, Pisa is served by more than 30 airlines, even though some of its destinations are only served during summer.  
  • Florence Airport (FLR): About 80 minutes drive from Pisa, the airport serving Tuscany’s capital hosts flights to and from destinations in France, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and more than 15 other countries.
  • By Rail: If you’re arriving in Pisa by train, you can conveniently pick up a rental car at the Pisa Centrale Railway Station.

City facts

  • The average temperature in August, the hottest month, is 23.4 °C (74.1 °F), but can get significantly hotter during the day. The average temperature in January is 6.8 °C (44.2 °F). Due to its location, the city gets more rain than many other Italian cities.
  • Some travelers are surprised to find out that Pisa is also very near the sea. Its suburbs, Marina di Pisa and Tirrenia, are on the Ligurian Coast.

Top destinations and activities

  • The Leaning Tower. By far the most famous of Pisa’s landmarks, the Torre Pendente is one of the most recognized symbols of Italy. It is possible to climb to the top, but it’s best to book ahead.
  • Pisa Cathedral. Not only a religious center and a beautiful building, the Pisa Cathedral hosts many famous paintings, sculptures, and mosaics by artists such as Giambologna, Della Robia, Giovanni Pisani, and others.
  • Baptistry of St. John (Battistero di San Giovanni). This large Romanesque building is beloved by tourists because of the great views of the Leaning Tower that you can get from its upper floor
  • Camposanto.  The ‘old cemetery’ is home to striking frescoes and an enormous collection of relics.
  • Pisa Botanical Garden.  A green oasis in the city, Pisa’s Botanical Garden was the first university botanical garden founded in the world (in the 1500s) and it’s still run by the University of Pisa today.  Inside, you’ll find a museum, multiple greenhouses, towering trees, herb gardens, and a relaxing atmosphere.

Traffic and parking

  • The speed limit in cities is 50 km/h, although in certain areas the speed limit may be reduced to 30 km/h. 
  • The speed limit on the Autostrada (toll road) is 130 km/h, reduced to 110 km/h if it’s raining.  The speed limit on highways ranges from 90-110 km/h.  
  • If you’re the driver, you need to have your driver’s license and International Driving Permit (if required for you) with you at all times.
  • The legal alcohol limit is 0.05% for experienced drivers and 0.00% for novice drivers. Being over the allowed limit can result in hefty fines. 
  • The emergency number, like elsewhere in the EU, is 112.
  • It’s easiest to park outside the city walls and walk or take public transport or a taxi into the historic center.  Blue lines are pay parking.

  • Be careful not to enter the ZTL (zona traffico limitato - limited traffic zone) if you don’t have permission. 

Toll roads

There are numerous toll roads in Italy. The exact fee depends on the route of your choice and the type of a vehicle. See the official Italian toll road website for more information. Use the website’s toll road calculator to find out exactly how much you’ll have to pay for using the toll roads on your planned route.

Ideas for day trips

  • Florence. Just 86 km (53 mi) east of Pisa, the most important city of Italian Renaissance is full of stunning buildings, world-class museums, and historyThe city’s culinary tradition shouldn’t be overlooked, either.
  • Lucca.  A favorite of many travelers to Tuscany, Lucca has a quiet city center, gorgeous piazzas, and wide city walls that you can cycle on.  
  • San Miniato.  A somewhat secret culinary hotspot, charming San Miniato offers hip bars for aperitivo and excellent dining options.  
  • Chianti.  Drive into the hills and taste the world-famous wines, explore hilltop villages, and delight in some of Italy’s most iconic scenery.
  • Beaches.  While Pisa has nice beaches along its coast, head north to Forte dei Marmi for a luxury beach stay, or south for some of the region’s wilder beaches.

Most popular cars

The most popular rental car in Italy is the Fiat Panda, although travelers also tend to pick the Ford Fiesta and the Fiat 500 a lot. The most popular car type is an economy, followed by compact and mini.

Further destinations

  • Rome. About four hours drive south of Pisa, the Eternal City is an historic, artistic, cultural, and culinary destination like no other. If you ever get overwhelmed by all it has to offer, the beaches just west of the city offer perfect relaxation.
  • Southern Italy. Start by exploring edgy and exciting  Naples, and then travel even farther south where regions of Apulia, Basilicata, and Calabria offer tradition, stunning nature, and endless hospitality.
  • Bologna and Venice. Just northeast of Tuscany, these two famous cities offer just as much culture as Pisa and Florence, but have their own unique atmosphere and character. Bologna can be reached in about two hours from Pisa and Venice in about three and a half.

Money-saving tips

There are different things you can do to get a good rental deal in Pisa:

  • Compare rates of different rental car providers

  • Book your rental car well in advance

  • Know your fuel and mileage requirements

  • Visit during low seasons - outside of summer months and major holidays (like Easter, Ferragosto, Christmas).

  • Explore pickup locations.  A nearby town that’s reached easily by train may have a better rate.

  • Don’t rent a car for time you’ll spend in cities.  It will just sit in a parking lot or garage (and you’ll need to pay for parking!).

  • Look into renting ‘open jaw’ - pick up your car in one destination and drop it off in another.  While you will likely need to pay a supplement for your car rental, you’ll save money on gas and tolls and you’ll save precious vacation time!

  • Visit on the month when the rental prices are the cheapest. According to our data, visiting Pisa is the cheapest in April when renting a car is about 43% cheaper than the yearly average.

What travel writers say

It’s one of the smaller cities in the region, and because of its size, it’s an excellent place for a weekend city vacation. Alternatively, visit for the day on your Tuscany road trip.

Chances are that when you think of Italy, beautiful images of Tuscan villas, rolling vineyards and cobblestone streets flood your mind. The thought of a Tuscan summer is an iconic Italian image – and for good reason. At the heart of this Italian dream are the various villages and towns that make up the best of Tuscany – and Pisa is one of these havens. Pisa is one of the more affordable options in the region, and boasts a wide variety of beautiful sights and unforgettable experiences to enjoy.

Hi, I’m Greta, thanks for stopping by! In 2017 I left my life as a management consultant and started chasing waterfalls, sunsets and views around the world.
The city of Pisa is undeniably best explored early morning or late at night, as it is then when you will discover the true beauty (beyond the summer tourist crowds) and if you’re a morning person, you will have the city almost entirely to yourself! The city centre itself is very small, so stick to walking if you wish to uncover the true beauty: found in the many small shops, cafes and restaurants.

Tuscany is a beautiful area of Italy. Expensive, but worth it. The driving is considerably me tolerable than in three south of Italy or the islands. A must visit is Cenquetera via Le Spezzia. Also wine tasting at Agrisole in San Miniato. Siena is stunning. Thank you Tuscany.
