Pisa is a very walkable city where most attractions are within walking distance. For longer distances, local buses work excellently. If you are planning a trip to Pisa to explore Tuscany, a rental car is a good option, but keep in mind that parking in the city center is limited.

Pisa is generally a safe city, but as with all major tourist destinations, you should watch out for pickpockets near the Leaning Tower. A local custom to respect is the dress code in churches; shoulders and knees should be covered. When eating out, it is common to have a 'coperto', a fixed service charge per person added to the bill. Tipping is not mandatory in the same way as in some other countries, but is appreciated. Italians appreciate it when you try to greet them with a simple 'Buongiorno'. Remember that many smaller shops close for siesta in the middle of the day, just like in the rest of Southern Europe.

Food in Pisa is about simple, high-quality ingredients. Try 'Cecina', a thin pancake made from chickpea flour, which is a local specialty. Avoid the restaurants right by Piazza dei Miracoli if you want authentic food at reasonable prices; instead, walk a few blocks away to the streets where the locals eat. To not be a typical tourist, order your cappuccino in the morning – after lunch, Italians only drink espresso. A final recommendation from TICKETS.SE is to visit the riverside promenade Lungarno at sunset for the most magical view and the best photos, far beyond the usual tourist trails at the tower.
