Electric ride through Pisa’s art, stories and secret corners

You’ll ride through Pisa in a quiet electric vehicle with a local guide who knows every story behind each stop—from Galileo’s mural to Gothic riverside churches and student-filled squares. Expect laughter, odd facts, and time to actually notice what makes this city tick beyond its famous tower.

Step-by-step itinerary

The Experience

Hands gripping the side rail as we zipped past the usual crowds near the Leaning Tower—honestly, I thought that was all Pisa had. But our guide, Marco, just grinned and pointed left instead. The little electric car hummed quietly while he told us about Galileo (his mural is actually wild—never seen a telescope painted like that). There was a faint smell of river water as we crossed the old bridge over the Arno, and it felt like we were sneaking into someone’s memory of the city.

We stopped in front of this tiny Gothic church—Santa Maria della Spina—right on the riverbank. The marble looked almost soft in the afternoon light, which sounds weird but it’s true. Marco said locals sometimes just call it “the Spina” and I tried to repeat it but probably mangled the accent; he laughed anyway. Then there was Knights’ Square—Piazza dei Cavalieri—with students lounging on steps and pigeons strutting around like they owned the place. You’d never guess Dante wrote about one of those towers in Inferno. It’s strange how history sits so quietly here.

I didn’t expect to see a Keith Haring mural in Pisa (Tuttomondo). It’s just there, bright and loud against the old walls—kids were taking selfies and an older couple argued softly about what one of the figures meant. We rolled past palazzos with blue facades and ruins with plaques for Mary Shelley (I had no idea she lived here for a bit). The tour covered more than I could keep track of—eleven stops in about an hour—but somehow nothing felt rushed. Maybe it was Marco’s way of pausing for questions or just letting us sit with a view for a minute. I still think about that stretch along the river where everything smelled faintly of stone and espresso.
