Beautiful Pisa

by sue_stone - last update: Feb 17, 2008

that famous tower
I have been lucky enough to visit Pisa 5 times so far since 1999, and have no doubt I will be back again one day!

Pisa is like a mini version of Florence, with its amazing architecture, pretty river, shopping, great food and fabulous atmosphere.

Even if you only have a day...or even half a day it is well worth stopping off in Pisa.

Obviously the main attraction is the famous Leaning Tower - it is gorgeous, and a climb to the top is a great experience. While at the tower you will be blown away by the beauty of Campo dei Miracoli, and the Cathedral Baptistery and other beautiful buildings here.

Once you have seen the main draw card, just take a wander around some of the back streets, stopping for an espresso and wind up by the river for a tasty gelato from La Bottega del Gelato!

 Grabbing some tips before our trip to Italy next week - knew i could rely on you for good ideas about where to eat and drink, and gelato in particular :-)

 Sue.. Great Pisa pics and tips (as always). We're planning our June trip to Italy and will definitely reference all of your Italy pages. Thanks for sharing.. Tom

 I loved Piza too. I agree that the Campo is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. Interesting photos.
