Your Destination
The signature sight of Pisa is undoubtedly the Leaning Tower: an architectural project beloved for its major flaw. But modern Pisa has plenty to offer: the vibrant bar and café culture, fresh Tuscan pasta and pizza sold at every bottega, and gorgeous Romanesque buildings. Make sure to visit iconic Piazza dei Miracoli, as well as its smaller neighbours, for an insight into local life.
