New results of HST and VLT observations of isolated pulsars and their
environments are presented. We present the first deep optical observations of
the nearby pulsar PSR J0108-1431, the identification evidence of PSR 1929+10
based on the proper motion measurement of its optical counterpart and a deep
investigation at optical wavelengths of the X-ray PWN around the Vela pulsar.
