If you are staying in an accommodation center, ask the receptionist to call you a reliable and formal taxi.

Pisa, reminiscent of a seaside town, is a decent, bustling and small town, so it is very easy to explore on foot. You can also rent a bike, but you should be aware that the cobblestone streets can be quite crowded. The motorcycle, which is the first to come to mind when thinking about Italy and transportation, is a very convenient vehicle for exploring the city. Motorcycle parking areas, which you can see on almost every curbside, make your job easier. Renting a car is also an option. You can see the offices of many car rental companies in the city. But if you are not thinking about going to the surrounding cities and villages, you do not need an automobile to see the city center and tourist attractions.
