Car Rental Pisa Airport

Start your visit by heading to Piazza dei Miracoli to have your photo taken in front of the city’s signature sight—the UNESCO-protected leaning tower. Close to the tower you can also visit the Cathedral. The River Arno divides the city in two and provides a picturesque drive past Renaissance architecture. Just a half hour drive from Pisa brings you to the coast, where you can visit the lively seaside resorts of Viareggio, Porto Venere and Forte dei Marmi.
