Look Beyond the Leaning Tower
If you are in Pisa then the first stop is probably to snap a memorable picture of the famous Leaning Tower. Arrive early and you just might get a chance for a solo shoot! Go beyond this legendary experience and discover a maze of ancient cathedrals, buildings and squares in this historic town.
From the Pisa Centrale Train Station, the 30-minute walk to the Campo dei Miracoli is along a pedestrianised street packed with shops and restaurants. If you head outside the touristy area you will start to uncover the atmosphere created from the some 60,000 students who study here.
Appreciate masterful art at Museo di San Matteo and Romanesque architecture at the San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, San Michele in Borgo and San Paolo Churches. If your feet tire then hop on and off one of the site-seeing buses to get a different look at Piazza dei Miracoli or the dome at the Cathedral of San Ranieri.
Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is the gate to Tuscany and from here Florence and Siena are easily accessed by train while San Gimignano is accessible by bus.

Pisa is well worth visiting, but most of the activities and sights can be covered in 2 days. After that I'd suggest taking the train or car to nearby locales like Lucca or Cinque de Terre
Eat at Osteria Emma in Pisa - we ate there twice and loved it!

Not my favorite town in Tuscany but close to everything by train, plane or car : Firenze, Sienna, Cinqueterre... And the public transportation is well organised. So you don't need a car if you just want to visit the city.
Just for a day or two.

I loved Pisa and it is so much more than a tower.
I loved Pisa and it is so much more than a tower. The atmosphere, the multicultural aspect of the people and the friendliest of the locals - it is a great place with excellent architectural buildings. Just walking around the city center is a pleasure.

Really liked the architecture and the little quaint squares - would be nicer if no vehicle traffic in the downtown! More stores open would have been nice - most closed in the two days we were there. Enjoyed the outside atmosphere of the bars and restraunts.

The Tower is a remarkable sight to see.
The Tower is a remarkable sight to see. The town was easy to walk around and get a feel for the atmosphere of the place. The Baptistery and the Cathedral were well worth the visit. We also enjoyed the people that we met, especially the young people who worked in the cafes. They all seemed to be students who were more than happy to try out their English and entered into conversations about anything from food to current political issues.

The tour of the grounds was not much different than what I read in a tour book. The ticket allowing access inside the tower to the top was well worth it! I would do it again. The Baptistery was beautiful, as I expected and that was nice to have the tour guide for that section. Though you might be able to research the information on your own if that is your interest.
For those wanting a Pisa memento with the Leaning Tower don't buy them near the site they are 2-3x more expensive. Walk into the town and meander among the streets. Take a gelato break then continue on. It is impossible to get lost yet if you feel turned around ask a local and they are happy to point you in the right direction.
“First, I got the room at its best price for 1 night stay which is a very good value :) The location of the hotel is great as it is in the middle of the city (between Pisa central train station and the Pisa de torre). Also it is near the shopping area. The staffs are very kind and accomodating and speak english very well. The breakfast buffet has good food selection.”
“The location is close to Pisa Tower and a walking distance from the centre area. The staff was really helpful and on the whole quite a clean hotel. Also quite a safe area.”
“We arrived very late almost at 11 in the night due to the flight was cancelled by alitalia without prior notice.But Nicola was very friendly and ask the staff to wait for us and we could ordered our very late dinner to be delivered to our room.very recommended.the family suite rooms are clean
and the hotel very close to Pisa tower.”
“Friendly staff who spoke English well. We loved the cafe next door - very cheap and had great coffee. The hotel was clean and comfortable with great wifi. A taxi ride to Pisa tower was 10 Euros. Plenty of parking.”
