ZTL stands for Zona Traffico Limitato or Limited Traffic Zone. Like many other Italian cities, Pisa's centre is a ZTL. You cannot drive in these zones without a permit, usually limited to residents, some public transport, and commercial traffic on legitimate business.

The Riposo is the Italian equivalent of the Spanish siesta so businesses, museums, churches and shops in Pisa will close for two to three hours during the hottest part of the day. It's a great time to walk around the city as the streets are quiet but you just need to remember to factor this into your plans.

Road House, Florence, written on almost 3 years ago

We actually really enjoyed our experience with the camper van. The service if we have a problem is very efficient. The only downside was that the departure inspection had not been carried out properly... the vehicle was not clean on the outside (quickly done...), no broom, no key to empty the grey water, 0 windscreen wiper fluid. A long scratch of 2 meters on the metal driver's side, I would have liked a vehicle Top!

The essential Campervan guide for your trip to Pisa

Pisa enjoys sweltering summers, with temperatures regularly reaching over 30 degrees on the thermometer. Spring is one of the best times of year to visit, and the period from March to May has a lovely climate averaging up to 24 degrees in the day and a low of around 18 degrees at night. There is still plenty of sunshine, and the cooler air makes motorhome rental in Pisa an absolute pleasure.

A Car-Free Zone

When you rent a motorhome in Pisa, driving in the centre can be challenging like many historic cities not built for modern vehicles. The centre of Pisa is closed to cars and is a Zona Traffico Limitato (ZTL), a status enforced by cameras that use automatic number plate recognition to fine unauthorised drivers.

Beside the Sea

The city sits on the alluvial plain of the Arno River, about 10 kilometres from the Ligurian Sea. Some lovely beaches are within easy reach of the city, perfect for when you rent a campervan in Pisa, including Marina di Vecchiano, part of the Migliarino—San Rossore—Massaciuccoli Nature Park. This beach offers sand dunes, pinewoods and crystal clear water and is an excellent base for your motorhome and just a short hop back into Pisa.

Culture vultures

Pisa is a compact city, so it is possible to see a good amount of the city's history and heritage in a relatively short time. The Leaning Tower is iconic and open to visitors, although numbers are limited. Visitors can also walk the medieval city walls built between 1154 and the end of the 13th century.

Hug the coastline and take a beautiful journey from Pisa to Genoa, 165 kilometres and just over two hours drive.

Pisa to Florence
Florence is Tuscany's Renaissance capital and an easy drive when you hire a campervan in Pisa. It takes just over an hour and a half on the A11/E76, at a distance of 112 kilometres.
