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.

A few hours is enough if you want to see the Leaning Tower.
A few hours is enough if you want to see the Leaning Tower. I hate that they allow the open selling of counterfeit merchandise in the streets and area around the Tower. It conveys that there are massive criminal elements in play. It is very uncomfortable. Florence on the other hand has signs about the fines you receive if buying counterfeit items from street vendors.

A regular Italian town but some fabulous star features, e.
A regular Italian town but some fabulous star features, e.g. The Leaning Tower. Well worth visiting, well maintained and a few historic buildings and museums to see alongside the Tower. Mix of cafes and restaurants in the town, plenty near the Tower. We had a very average meal in a place near the Tower - probably a mistake to stay in the tourist areas, but I think walking further back in to town we would have found better quality restaurants, still at reasonable prices.

Arriving in the evening made for short queue for the tower.
Arriving in the evening made for short queue for the tower. Well worth walking the 293 steps to the top. The ticket includes entry to the cementary, and we are glad we just had enough time to visit it. The frescoes, the sculptures the caches make the walk around the building an unforgettable experience.

Pisa felt very cosy and nice.
Pisa felt very cosy and nice. We visited the leaning tower around midnight so it wasn't too crowded but it was still more than 30 degrees outside so if you're afraid of the heat - this is not the best place. The city was quite quiet on the first days of August since some places were already closed for vacation and others were about to close in a few days.

Seeing the tower was well worth it but I did not care for...
Seeing the tower was well worth it but I did not care for Pisa. I found it quite dirty, unsafe feeling (sketchy streets for walking alone), and at SEVERAL cafes/restaurants I found the staff to be very UNFRIENDLY. What's up with that?!?? Maybe I have been too spoiled by the very friendly locals in Firenze, Cortona, Montepulciano, San Giminano. Even Rome was more friendly. I would not return unless I HAVE to fly on Ryan Air.

Pisa is a nice small town.
Pisa is a nice small town. Of course, the main thing to see is the tower. The city is v ery pretty and the people seem very nice.
But be very careful, if you drive into Pisa there is a certain area where the signs of course in Italian tell you that you cannot drive through. We did not know this until e got home and 1 year later got 2 traffic tickets in the mail for 130 euro each. We did not pay them.
“Very Close to train station.
Excellent efficient management.
My Best breakfast buffet in italy.
Buffet worth 13 Euro.
Excellent total Price for room.”
“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.”
“Excellent Location. just a minutes walk to the Pisa leaning tower and bus stop to airport. Staff are very friendly and nice. They recommended good local restaurant”
“The staffs were very friendly and helpful. One took me to the nearest supermarket and informed about buses, with good English, which is a bit rare to find in Italy. The kitchen is well equipped and they even provided onion, garlic, salt, sugar and coffee.
The apartment was very clean. It has a clothes hanging rack, which is very handy for drying washed clothes.
The location is a bit far from city center, but close to bus stop so it didn't matter.”
