BARS & NIGHT LIFE
Before going to dinner, don’t miss the apéritivo bars (which are usually open between 18.30-21.30). The early-evening drink has become a must in Italy for both young and old people. It’s also an easy way to meet people. The real place for night-life is on the Versilia coast, just 10 km from the city (the most famous discos are in Viareggio or Forte dei Marmi). Pisa does however boast some decent places to listen to live music or for dancing.
A small place in a good location. This is one of the most fashionable places for an apéritivo. There is a wide choice of drinks with canapés and other snacks.
