Home to one of the world's most iconic landmarks, Pisa offers far more than its famous tilting bell tower.

Pisa is a city of profound history and unexpected beauty. While millions come to photograph the Leaning Tower, those who linger discover a vibrant university town with medieval streets, stunning Romanesque architecture, and a relaxed Tuscan atmosphere.

The Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing not just the tower, but also the magnificent Cathedral, Baptistery, and Monumental Cemetery — collectively one of medieval Europe's most important religious centres.

Beyond the famous square, explore Piazza dei Cavalieri, the historic centre of power, or stroll along the Arno River at sunset, passing the exquisite Gothic gem Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina. The city's botanical garden, one of the oldest in Europe, offers a peaceful retreat.

Pisa makes an ideal base for yoga during your Tuscan stay — close to the airport, yet surrounded by countryside, with easy access to the coast and the hills.

Food & Wine

Don't miss cecina, a thin chickpea flatbread that's a Pisan specialty. Pair local wines with fresh seafood from the nearby coast, or explore the trattorias around Piazza delle Vettovaglie.
