What travel documents do I need to fly to Pisa ?
For citizens of the UK and other nationalities, entry requirements depend on your nationality, residency, and document type. British citizens can travel without a visa to the Schengen area (which includes Italy) for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Your passport must have a 'date of issue' less than 10 years before arrival and an 'expiry date' at least 3 months after you plan to leave the Schengen area. The new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) requires biometric registration on first entry. Other nationalities should verify their specific requirements, as rules vary significantly. Check the latest official guidance before you travel.

Buses, bicycles, and walking are practical options. A car may be useful only if you plan to explore the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Renting a car costs around €30 per day, but driving in the city center is challenging due to narrow cobblestone streets and a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) where rental costs apply. The city is easily navigable without a car.

Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei, code PSA) is located just 1.5 kilometers from the city center.

From Pisa Centrale station, the main attractions including the Leaning Tower are a short 1.5-kilometer walk (about 20-30 minutes) or accessible by local transport.
