Visit Pisa

Tower is fantastic but we did not see much else that was of interest to us as tourists , town seemed a very nice place for people to live , people were friendly and helpful to us as tourists. Apparently you can walk on the walls but finding how to get on and off them was not so obvious.

I had expected Pisa to be boring except for seeing the Tower but actually that is the least interesting part of the city. The walk to the riverside from the Duomo passes through really interesting places to eat and drink with a lively atmosphere - well worth a couple of nights exploring! And a real cafe culture during the day!

Pisa was overrun by tourists in the day but seemed the majority were only there for the day and the evenings were quiet with only a small amount of tourists staying for the evenings, which made choosing a bar or restaurant in the evening a pleasure. I would use Pisa as a base with other locations, and good connections by rail and bus. the train to Cinque Terra is rammed in the morning, leaving a few hours later and returning to Pisa in the evening is a better choice.

I loved the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The complex it sits in has a ticket office, museums, and plenty of walking spaces. You can do a 3km rampart walk. The food in Pisa is divine with plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. Local food delicacy includes boar and rabbit cooked to ancient Tuscany recipes. Pisa is compact . It has 2 railway stations. The main railway stations offer connections to Rome, Milan but also shorter trips to Siena, Lucca , and the coastal seaside of Livorna. The airport is only 7km from the centre of Pisa and a train link is available. Pisa has good bespoke shops and leather bags, shoes and other leather accessories are worth buying. WARNING: Do not take up the offer of Booking . com car transfer from Pisa airport . We were charged £54.00 by booking a car transfer via booking .com. We were surprised to find out the centre of Pisa is 7km from the centre of Pisa . Our taxi back to the airport by a local firm which was efficient was £13.00. Do check distances and availability from airports. 2 days in Pisa if you wish to see and do it all is sufficient.

Great base to explore Tuscany. Visited Florence and Lucca by train whilst staying in Pisa. Food in Pisa was great and very reasonably priced...even by the Tower! Lots to see and easy to navigate on foot. Train station very easy to use and travel was good value for money... lots of trains...all running on time!

We had 2 nights in Pisa and it would have been easy to do another night. All the blogs we read said once you’ve done the square of miracles there’s nothing else to do ! This wasn’t the case for us at all and I personally think Pisa is very underrated. We found the best coffee shop that served perfect cappuccinos called Filter coffee Lab, wonderful restaurants ,nice parks to walk through ,and enjoyed strolling on corso Italia Visiting the square of miracles at night when the crowds had disappeared was truly wonderful ,as was walking along the river with its grand buildings lining either side. All in all a great place to visit for a couple of days.
