Book a hotel in Pisa

Planning a trip to Pisa means getting ready to explore its famous landmarks and hidden gems, from the Leaning Tower to a delicious lampredotto sandwich. To help you find the perfect base for your adventures, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about staying in Pisa.

Pisa offers much more than its world-renowned tilting tower. Beyond its leaning landmark, you will discover a city rich in history, art, and an authentic Tuscan atmosphere. Explore the Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the Duomo (Cathedral) and the Baptistery stand alongside the Torre di Pisa, showcasing exquisite Romanesque architecture. Wander through the medieval streets, soak up the vibrant local life along the Arno River, and uncover hidden churches and delightful squares away from the main tourist hubs.

Beyond the famous sights, Pisa provides a gateway to exploring the Tuscan region. Whether you are looking for a short city break or an extended stay, you will find a range of accommodation options, from charming boutique hotels to comfortable guesthouses, perfect for your holiday. Pisa’s relaxed pace and excellent transport links make it an ideal base for experiencing the best of central Italy.

When booking a hotel in Pisa, many visitors choose to stay near the Miracle Square, known in Italian as Piazza dei Miracoli. This central area offers convenient access to the city's most famous sights, allowing you to walk to attractions.

The area around Miracle Square is ideal for first-time visitors, placing you within steps of the Leaning Tower, Pisa Cathedral, Baptistery, and Camposanto Monumentale. Accommodation here typically includes larger hotels and guesthouses, many with views of the historic monuments. It provides a classic Pisa experience, right in the heart of the tourist activity.

Moving south towards the River Arno, the district around Piazza dei Cavalieri and the University of Pisa offers a slightly different atmosphere. This area has a more student-focused, academic feel, with smaller hotels and bed and breakfasts. Here, you are close to Palazzo della Carovana and Palazzo dell'Orologio. Crossing the Arno brings you to areas like San Martino, which provides a local experience with a range of hotels, close to the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Reale.

Consider hotel locations in relation to transport. Pisa has a good bus network connecting different parts of the city. If arriving by train, staying near Pisa Centrale station offers excellent connections. This area provides hotels close to the station, making arrival and departure straightforward. Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei Airport) is just a few miles south of the city centre, easily reached by bus or a short taxi ride, so many hotels offer convenient access to airport transport links.

Planning a trip to Pisa doesn't have to be expensive. To secure a cheaper hotel deal, consider travelling outside the peak summer months of July and August. You'll often find better rates in spring or autumn, enjoying pleasant weather and fewer crowds around the Campo dei Miracoli. Look for accommodation a little further from the Leaning Tower of Pisa itself; venturing a few streets away from the main tourist area can significantly cut costs without adding much to your walking time.

Booking your hotel and flight as a package can also lead to considerable savings. Pisa is well-connected by train, so staying slightly outside the city centre, perhaps in a nearby town like Lucca, and commuting for the day is another budget-friendly option.
