Flights from Bristol to Pisa

Compelling and Historic Pisa

Pisa is a compelling Tuscan city with noteworthy attractions to explore. The Square of Miracles remains a star attraction with its emblematic and beautiful 13th-century architecture. Nevertheless, the Arno River Promenade also offers historic reference points for attentive tourists.

Pisa climate and events

Optimum travel weather is during the spring when the climate is not too warm and it is drier than autumn. Summers are warm with some rainfall while winters are mild. Visit during Carnival in February and the Luminaria di San Ranieri (June 16th) street festival. On June 17th, a regatta along with a candle and fireworks displays honours the patron saint.
