Pisa is a city of Tuscany, with a population of around 90,000 inhabitants.
Understand
Pisa is world famous for its Leaning tower, but those who come thinking that the Tower is the only thing to see risk missing out on the architectural and artistic wonders of this city.
The best way to see Pisa is on foot exploring the streets of the small city center to soak up the atmosphere.
Pisa would be nothing without its University. The city is indeed very student (60,000 students for 100,000 inhabitants!). It is very lively especially the central street at nightfall.
To go
By plane
- 1 Galileo-Galilei International Airport (IATA : PSA, ICAO: LIRP, Aeroporto di Pisa-San Giusto, Aeroporto internazionale Galileo Galilei) (1 km south of Pisa)
By car
Reaching it by car is, unlike Florence or Rome, quite easy. There is ample free parking near the center of the old town.
By train
Circulate
Pisa on foot, up and down, it's happiness especially if you get there around 17-18 h : even in July or August, tourists start to leave, the route is airy but above all the evening light then clouds the tower and the city with a very pictorial pink filter.
To see
- 1 Pisa tower – It is believed that seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa will be disappointing, cream pie, cheesy-postcard: not at all. At the start of the evening (17 h 30-18 h 30), arriving on its famous square and receiving its alabaster whiteness in the mirrors remains an emotion. We think we are blasé but at his feet, the magic operates. It seems to wobble at sunset and ready to crash in front of you, not to be missed. Majestic, fragile, the building is more imposing and much more charming in reality than in the most beautiful photos. But avoid the tourist rush by arriving along the ramparts of the old town when tourists start to leave.
Do
To buy
Eat
- Burger King Largo Cocco Griffi 13 – It seems incongruous to eat fast food in Italy but this Burger King next to Piazza Duomo and not far from the parking lot is timely and offers a better value meal than most of the restaurants around the Duomo.
