Arriving in Pisa
Smy Pisa Plaza is 4.5 km from Pisa Airport (PSA), where the PisaMover shuttle connects to Pisa Centrale. The nearest intercity station is Pisa Centrale, about 2.3 km away. Pisa operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. This property lists parking; properties inside a zone can usually register a guest's plate, so confirm access and arrival time before driving in. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
