Pisa Intl. Airport
Pisa, reminiscent of a seaside town, is a decent, bustling and small town, so it is very easy to explore on foot.

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.
