  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”

Where to go

While the lopsided tower may be the first thing you associate with Pisa, it’s worth exploring more of the city outside of Piazza dei Miracoli. Hiring a car will allow you to see the diverse neighbourhoods on display and the other impressive sites. The rich history of maritime activity and educational prowess has made Pisa into the destination it is today, so be sure to explore far and wide.

Nearby Pisa Airport

By using toll roads, you can get to the walled city of Lucca in just over half an hour. Its cobblestone streets, spacious squares and impressive towers make the historic city centre a fantastic place to discover. A similar distance away, but in the opposite direction, is Livorno, whose coastal location has made it famous for its seafood and checkerboard-paved promenade.

Longer drives

A two-hour drive along toll roads from Pisa Airport will take you to the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, Bologna. It is filled with stunning medieval and renaissance architecture, along with a wonderful Italian café culture. Continuing on from Bologna for another hour and 40 minutes, you will reach the microstate of San Marino, complete with the hilltop citadels known as The Three Towers.

Eating and drinking

Tuscan food is among some of the best in the world and having a hire car means you’re at liberty to go and seek it out. Be sure to try as much local produce as possible, with fine cheese, meats, olive oil and freshly baked bread gracing many tables, as well as beans and tomatoes. Of course, Italy is known for its wine, so once the car is parked for the evening, you’ll also want to enjoy the latest vintage.

Things to do

With Pisa Airport car hire you can explore the whole region, whether you’re interested in enjoying the colours and flavours of its markets or understanding how wine is made at one of the many vineyards. Tuscany is also home to some beautiful secluded beaches, so get off the beaten track and find a stretch of sand that’s all your own.

Sightseeing

As well as visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa, make sure you explore the other monuments in the Piazza Miracoli. These include the Baptistry, with its incredible acoustics, and the Caposanto Monumentale cemetery. Throughout the city, there are numerous pretty little churches and museums to find out more about the religious history and culture of the area.
