Pisa in November
Good time to visit
November trades good weather for solitude and lower prices. If you don't mind rain and shorter days, you'll experience Pisa as locals do rather than as a tourist destination.
Weather
November brings cooler temperatures and the return of frequent rainfall. Gray, overcast days become common, though clear spells still offer pleasant walking weather. The first hints of winter arrive with chilly mornings and the need for proper jackets.

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.
