Renting a car in Pisa is a really good idea if you want to move all over the city and its surroundings, or simply all over the region of Toscana. Thanks to it, you will discover that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not the only leaning tower at all, as there are two more: Saint Nicholas Bell Tower and Saint Michele degli Scalzi Bell Tower.
First of all, the trip might begin in the astounding Lucca.
LUCCA
It is, really, one of our recommended visits as it is truly close to Pisa. Lucca is only 17 kilometers away and it will take you about 20 minutes thanks to your rental car. To get to Lucca, take the SS12 and SS12radd until the V Via Bandettini.
Once you are in Lucca, we recommend parking in the outside part of the walls, for it is a really small town and, in an attempt to preserve its charming environment, the traffic is limited only to residents in the city. Don’t worry about this, as there are many parking lots at a not so high price per day. With your car parked, go to the historic center of Lucca and enjoy the essence of Toscana at its finest. Saint Martino Cathedral, with its gallery of columns, or Saint Michele Square, built upon the ancient Roman Forum, will, surely, amaze you.
LARI
Lari is about 35 minutes in rental car and about 32 kilometers away from Pisa. To access the city, take the road SGC Firenze-Pisa-Livorno. This medieval town is at the heart of the Pisan Hills. The place is known for its natural landscape which surrounds it, making the traveler feel what the real essence of Toscana is and, of course, for its medieval castle, known as Vicars Castle. Moreover, you can contemplate the medieval walls and its old entry gates, which are in perfect condition. For your information, Lari has, since 2003, the sign of environmental touristic quality Orange Flag.
