The one thing you should be aware of in Pisa and most major cities and towns in Italy is the infamous ZTL area. So you’ve just arrived in Pisa and have managed to track down your hire car. Before you know it you are off into the centre. Did your hire company not tell you about the ZTL areas? What are ZTL areas I hear you ask, well a ZTL area is a way of taking your hard earned money of you without you knowing until 2 months down the road. The ZTL areas are to keep tourists from driving around the older parts of towns and cities and if you don’t know about them a little camera will take a photo of your car and you will get to pay for this privilege later on.
Below is a map I found in Pisa airport of the ZTL areas. The little green squares are where the ZTL areas begin and finish.
Don’t say nobody told you.
