Pisa is a historic Tuscan city on the banks of the Arno River, famous for the Leaning Tower and the remarkable Piazza dei Miracoli. Here, the cathedral, baptistery, and monumental cemetery form an impressive architectural ensemble. Beyond the main square, visitors can discover riverside streets, historic palaces, university buildings, and lively squares such as Piazza delle Vettovaglie.

The compact city centre is easy to explore on foot, with traditional trattorias serving Tuscan specialities such as ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, and locally produced cured meats. Pisa is also an excellent base for discovering the surrounding region, from the historic streets of Lucca and medieval hill towns to the beaches of Marina di Pisa and Tirrenia. Florence and the Ligurian coast are also within reach for longer excursions.

Car rental in Pisa offers the flexibility to explore Tuscany beyond the city, with scenic drives through vineyards, countryside villages, and historic towns. A car also makes it easier to reach nearby beaches and discover more of the region at your own pace.
