Scams to know
A guide to Pisa's most common scam describes people near the Leaning Tower slipping a bracelet onto a tourist's wrist unasked, then demanding 10-50 euros once it's already on and turning aggressive if refused. The advice: keep your hands visibly at your sides and say a firm "no grazie" before anyone gets close enough to touch you, and don't fall for the separate car-park scam either, where someone posing as a parking official demands a wildly inflated "fee" when the actual municipal rate is just 0.60 euro an hour.
