Pisa in February
Not the best time
February offers the same tourist-free advantages as January with slightly better weather. Carnevale adds some festive energy, but you're still gambling with rain most days.
Weather
February stays chilly and unpredictable with alternating rain and crisp sunny days. Morning fog is common along the Arno, but afternoons can surprise you with clear skies. The cold feels sharper due to the coastal winds from the Ligurian Sea.

All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather without summer crowds. Temperatures hover around 20°C, and you can actually get decent photos of the tower without fighting hordes of tourists.
September and October are golden months. The summer heat breaks, but restaurants and attractions stay open. Plus, university students return, bringing energy back to the bars and cafes.
Skip July and August unless you enjoy sweating through 35°C heat while queuing for an hour to climb the tower. Crowds peak during these months, and many locals flee to the coast.
Winter works if you're chasing budget prices and don't mind gray skies. Hotels drop rates by 40%, but some restaurants close, and the tower climb gets cancelled in bad weather. December through February sees frequent rain.
