Pisa is more than the Leaning Tower – the city has a riverside historic centre, university quarter and Romanesque churches. The entire historic core is inside a strict ZTL: drive in and a 92 euros fine arrives via your rental company. Tourists park outside at Pietrasantina P+R (2 euros / day plus free shuttle) or central garages (12-22 euros / day). This 2026 guide pulls live rates from Pisa Mobilità, Saba and Apcoa.
Pisa enforces a ZTL covering the Tower area, medieval quarter and the Lungarno river streets.
