Things you should know about Pisa in August
A visit to Pisa in August is a real treat. Its not a huge town and so walking around it all is easy. It is however very hot and you should protect yourself from the sun. There is a huge carpark on the outskirts of the town and it is likely whether you arrive by coach or car that you will park there. On the way to the centre there are shops and market stalls for ice cream, coffee, souvenirs and restrooms. There are street vendors who will approach and try to sell you things but they are rarely persistent. Beware uneven pavements and kerbs as you can take a tumble and hurt yourself (like I did). Photography can be difficult because of all the people around and so take many shots to get the best ones. It is a crowded destination and it can be difficult to find shade to stand in. There are many cafes with seating where you can seek shade and ice cream. The McDonalds on the way from the carpark is a good place to seek the restroom, although you will have to pay. Pisa has a relatively small footprint and there will be plenty of time to see all the sights so don’t rush and make sure you have time for a coffee and a browse in the market.
