Lost phone or documents

Do this
Block cards and your SIM immediately. Then report lost or stolen documents to the authorities. If you are near the Duomo, from April to October the Tourist Police also takes reports from visitors.
Avoid
Do not wait for them to turn up before blocking payments and access. Do not post photos of your documents.

Follow the signs for PisaMover. Check today’s timetable, buy a ticket at the machine and scan it at the gates.
Avoid
Do not rely on an old screenshot: frequency and service can change.
Why
It is the direct link between Pisa Centrale and the airport.

Avoid
Nearby does not always mean accessible or free.
Why
Each card separates location, source and known conditions.

Avoid
If you have children, check the Tower rules first: they differ from the other monuments.
01Bus without a fineTest version: content to be checkedIn town, match the ticket to the action: paper → validate it; app → activate it; bank card or phone → tap as soon as you board and wait for the green light. A Pisa urban ticket lasts 70 minutes.

Do this
In town, match the ticket to the action: paper → validate it; app → activate it; bank card or phone → tap as soon as you board and wait for the green light. A Pisa urban ticket lasts 70 minutes.
Avoid
A red light means the payment failed. Try again: if it stays red, you do not have a valid ticket. Keep using the same card or device, including at inspection. One card covers one passenger.
Why
Buying a ticket is not enough: Autolinee Toscane can also fine a missing validation or activation, and contactless travel without a tap. The amount changes depending on when you pay.
The fine, in numbers
Urban service

Fine + cost of the onboard ticket.
One question
Leaving Pisa or heading to the coast?
Yes
The service may become suburban or mixed-fare. With Tip Tap, tap on and tap off; if you miss the second tap, you are charged to the terminus. Check the line before leaving.
No
On city buses, tap every time you board, including transfers within the 70-minute validity. With a paper or digital ticket, follow its validation or activation rules.
02Avoid the ZTLTest version: content to be checkedSee a gate? Stop before it. Check the address and sector online. If your plate is not authorised, park outside.

Do this
See a gate? Stop before it. Check the address and sector online. If your plate is not authorised, park outside.
Avoid
Your sat-nav knows the road, not your permit.
Why
The gates read number plates, and the ZTL is split into sectors.
One question
Staying inside the ZTL?
Yes
Call your host before entering. Ask whether they can register your plate and when.
No
Without authorisation, stay outside and continue on foot or by bus.
03Pay for parkingTest version: content to be checkedRead the sign for your zone. Pay at the meter or with an app listed by Pisamo. Before leaving, check that payment is active.

Do this
Read the sign for your zone. Pay at the meter or with an app listed by Pisamo. Before leaving, check that payment is active.
Avoid
Hours and rules are not the same everywhere. Do not pay anyone offering to act as an intermediary.
Why
Pisa has different zones; the sign beside your bay is the rule to follow.
04Bike and e-scooterTest version: content to be checkedBike: use a rack. Sharing: check the app before ending your ride. In Piazza dei Miracoli, get off and push.

Bike: use a rack. Sharing: check the app before ending your ride. In Piazza dei Miracoli, get off and push.
Avoid
Do not lock bikes to bus-stop poles. Do not leave vehicles blocking the way.
Why

01Duty pharmacyTest version: content to be checkedFind a nearby pharmacy and check the rota on the sign posted outside every pharmacy. Farmacia Comunale n. 5, via Niccolini, declares it is open 24 hours a day. Emergency? Call 112.

Do this
Find a nearby pharmacy and check the rota on the sign posted outside every pharmacy. Farmacia Comunale n. 5, via Niccolini, declares it is open 24 hours a day. Emergency? Call 112.
Avoid
Do not trust copied opening hours: nights, holidays and duty rotas change.
Why
The map says where; the rota sign, which Tuscan regional law requires every pharmacy to display, says which one is on duty.
02A doctor while studying away from homeTest version: content to be checkedIf you study or do a PhD in Pisa and your GP is far away, choose between temporary healthcare domicile and the University service for non-resident students. Check the official requirements and documents first.
Test version: content to be checked
Do this
If you study or do a PhD in Pisa and your GP is far away, choose between temporary healthcare domicile and the University service for non-resident students. Check the official requirements and documents first.
Avoid
Do not wait until you are ill to decide. Out-of-hours medical care does not replace a GP; call 112 in an emergency.
Why
Temporary healthcare domicile lasts from three months to one year and can be renewed. Students and PhD candidates who do not transfer it can consider the University alternative for non-residents.
One question
Do you want to transfer your GP to Pisa temporarily?
Yes
Prepare a domicile self-certification, suspension from your home GP and proof of enrolment, then contact the local health authority.
No
Check the University service for non-resident students and the conditions shown on the portal before joining.
03Dispose of household waste correctlyTest version: content to be checkedEnter your address in the Geofor calendar. Residents in the historic centre and on the coast use card-operated electronic bins; other districts use door-to-door collection.
Test version: content to be checked
Do this
Enter your address in the Geofor calendar. Residents in the historic centre and on the coast use card-operated electronic bins; other districts use door-to-door collection.
Avoid
Do not leave furniture, appliances or bags beside the bins. Book a collection or use a recycling centre for bulky waste.
Why
The system changes by area, and incorrect disposal may be fined.
One question
Do you need to dispose of furniture or an appliance?
Yes
Book the free Geofor collection and follow the instructions you receive. Do not leave anything in the street without a booking.
No
Open the City service and use the calendar and waste guide for your address.

Avoid
Do not count on the last PisaMover run: its 2025 service charter gives the service until midnight, and until 1.00 from June to September. After 21.00 the slots are marked «corsa dello shuttle tramite specifica chiamata» — shuttle run by specific call.
Why
Hours and numbers are those declared by the sources on the date checked.
01The “gift” you are asked to pay forTest version: content to be checkedDo not want it? Do not take it. If it is already in your hand and they ask for money, give it back and walk away.
Test version: content to be checked
Do this
Do not want it? Do not take it. If it is already in your hand and they ask for money, give it back and walk away.
Avoid
Do not open your wallet under pressure. If they become aggressive, move away and call 112.
Why
This is a safety tip, not an accusation: a gift should not become a demand for money.
How this map works: every point carries a date and its source; water points and toilets also carry the name of whoever saw them — no ratings, no stars. “Take me there” opens walking directions. And if a fountain is broken, the “Works? No” button on its card is the fastest way to tell us: it is on everything that can break, not on monuments.
