    Great for families and tired legs is the London-style open-top double-decker red Sightseeing Bus that cruises around town following a circular route; stops include Viale Gramsci in front of the train station, Via Corsica (for Piazza dei Cavalieri) and Piazza Arcivescovado (for Piazza dei Miracoli). Passengers are equipped with an English-language audio commentary and can hop on/off as they please.

    Ecovoyager

    Pedalling Pisa using two or four wheels is the way to do it: Ecovoyager rents romantic canopied riscio (rickshaws) made for two - or indeed up to six people - as well as conventional bicycles and rollerblades. Hire an English radio-guide at the same time and you're all set to explore Pisa your way.
