Pisa by season
Spring
Spring (April-June) is arguably the best time to visit. The weather is warm and sunny, ideal for walking, and the Tuscan countryside is lush and blooming. The city is lively but not yet at peak summer crowds.
- + Pleasant temperatures (15-25°C)
- + Long daylight hours
- + Beautiful flowers in gardens and countryside
- − Can be rainy in April
- − Easter and late spring see significant tourist numbers
Summer
Summer (July-August) is hot, busy, and festive. The city swells with tourists, and temperatures can soar, but the atmosphere is vibrant with long evenings and occasional local festivals.

- + Longest opening hours for attractions
- + Vibrant evening street life and festivals like the Luminara di San Ranieri (June)
- − Intense heat and humidity (up to 30°C+)

- + Fewer tourists than summer
- + Beautiful autumn foliage and harvest season
- − Increasing chance of rain in late October
