Don’t forget to eat a Tuscan pizza. I call it that because the base of the pizza is fluffy and thick compared to the original one from Naples. But the tomato sauce on each pizza is to die for which makes it just so tasty.⁣

And what makes it even cooler is that it’s a university city so you’ll be surrounded by young faces everywhere. In the night it’s quiet and perfect to have the Piazza dei Miracoli to yourself. While during the day it comes alive with its endless shopping arcades, sunny cafés, and restaurants.⁣

Explore the Streets of Pisa and eat your way through them ⁣
⁣
No Pisa is not only the leaning tower. And who tells you that is because they didn’t have the decency to explore the streets of Pisa. It actually is not a touristic city in my opinion. We hardly ever saw American travelers away from the tower. It’s a city where you can definitely feel what the real life of Italians is.⁣

YOU KNOW ? ⁣
Many visitors tend to miss the Monumental Cemetery, but it is definitely worth setting some time aside to visit. It is a great place to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the buzzing crowds you will encounter in the piazza, plus you will get to admire some fantastic medieval frescoes. There is also a collection of Roman sarcophagi here.⁣

YOU KNOW ⁣
If you want to get the perfect shot of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Baptistery is the place to go. A fine example of the change from Romanesque to Gothic architecture, the Baptistery is extremely beautiful from the outside and if you look really closely you will notice the 0.6-degree lean. Aside from the climb to the top to get that great photo of the Leaning Tower, inside you will find numerous sculptures, Arabic-style paving, and an impressive baptismal font.⁣

YOU KNOW the Cathedral⁣
⁣
Situated right next to the bell tower, the cathedral is a stunning example of what is known as Pisan Romanesque architecture. Dating all the way back to the 11th century, on the exterior you will see various mosaics, multicolored marble, and a number of bronze objects, but it is inside that will really capture your attention. As well as the exquisite marble, wood and golf leaf features, the cathedral also houses artwork by major artists such as Giambologna, Vanni and Della Robbia. You can also see the relics of Saint Rainerius, the patron saint of Pisa.⁣

Leaning Tower⁣
⁣
The sight which everyone heads to Pisa to see, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a free-standing bell tower originally intended to be part of the city’s cathedral. Construction began in the 12th century and, despite being considered a miracle of medieval engineering, the tower began to lean almost immediately due to its unstable foundation. By 1990, the degree of tilt had reached 5.5, but since then work has been completed on the tower, with it currently leaning at 3.97 degrees. As well as the obligatory photos to be taken of the tower’s exterior, it is now possible to climb the structure’s 297 steps to enjoy views from the top. There are limits to the number of tickets sold every day so it is highly recommended that you purchase your tickets online prior to your visit.⁣

YOU KNOW?⁣ ⁣
Piazza dei Miracoli is Translating as the ‘Field of Miracles’, this piazza is where you will find Pisa’s most important sights – the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Monumental Cemetery. The piazza is extremely important to the religious life in the city: the Baptistery represents birth, the cathedral and tower life, and the cemetery – obviously – death. ____ Photo by @hortense.travel —— “ What to do in Florence and Pisa in 2 Days ” (LINK IN BIO) —— I’m a professional travel advisor specialized in private and personalized experiences.
