Discovering Pisa

This legendary Italian city is ideal for walking tours as its historic centre has been divided into four sections. The most popular area is the Field of Miracles, home to the Leaning Tower, the Pisa Duomo and other notable attractions. Be wary of dining or shopping around the Leaning Tower, as it’s notorious for poor quality goods. Instead, explore the other three quarters with their local plazas, incredible regional cuisine and interesting shops.

Daytripping by car

Some visitors only fly into Pisa to get to Florence, which is one of the world’s great repositories of culture and art. With the help of a car rental it’s a snap to drive to Florence for a day of inspiration. The Tuscan countryside around Pisa have many more treasures to behold such as traditional towns like Lucca and Volterra. The five stunning coastal villages that make up Cinque Terre are also within easy striking distance of Pisa.

When to go

Winters have the potential to be a very nice time for a visit; temperatures are wonderfully cool and the typical rainfalls can often disappear for days. Summers are reliably dry but also very hot. Spring and autumn are both ideal windows of great weather and minimal crowds.
