Weather in the Mediterranean

Pisa enjoys a classic Tuscan climate—warm, sun-soaked, and full of Italian charm. Summers (June to September) are hot and dry, with temperatures often reaching 30°C (86°F). It’s the perfect time to admire the Leaning Tower under blue skies, though a shady café and a cool gelato offer welcome relief from the midday heat.

Autumn (October to November) brings milder temperatures and a touch of rain, making the city’s historic streets feel even more atmospheric. Winters (December to February) are cool but rarely freezing, with crisp air and quieter piazzas, offering a peaceful side of Pisa. Spring (March to May) is one of the best times to visit, with pleasant warmth, blooming flowers, and the Arno River reflecting the bright Tuscan sun. Whatever the season, Pisa’s weather ensures a picture-perfect experience.

Things to do in Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Leaning Tower of Pisa

For over 200 years, the Tower of Pisa was relentlessly constructed. Eight stories of white marble stand askew, gravity having more of an effect on the tower than desired. After years of the tower being closed to the public it is now open again and waiting for you to climb its illustrious staircase and gaze out on to the beauty below.

Pisa Cathedral

Appreciate the mosaics which line parts of the walls and admire the black and white marble which make the interior of the cathedral an awe-inspiring experience. Walk in the footsteps of Pope Gelasius II who consecrated the cathedral in 1118.

Gusto Giusto

Gusto Giusto

Gusto Giusto is fast food at its very best. Even though the portions are large one serving isn’t enough. You’ll want to take some away with you, some on the plane and some to eat at home.
