Pisa

Pisa is inextricably linked to its world-famous Leaning Tower, yet the city on the Arno holds a deeper history as a former maritime republic. At its heart lies the Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where, besides the Leaning Tower, you can admire the impressive Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Camposanto Monumentale. These architectural masterpieces bear witness to Pisa's former power and are outstanding examples of Romanesque architecture. Away from the bustling square, the district of Borgo Stretto invites you to an authentic city stroll with its arcades and small shops. Here, you'll experience the student atmosphere and local way of life. For a more relaxed exploration of the Piazza dei Miracoli, a visit in the early morning or late afternoon is recommended. Discover also the Piazza dei Cavalieri with the Palazzo della Carovana, an important center of the city's history.
