The ultimate insider's travel guide to Pisa to-tuscany.com

Pisa is a city renowned for its iconic landmarks, rich history, and vibrant culture. Once a thriving Roman port, sitting on the coast until the 15th century, Pisa now lies on the alluvial plain of the Arno River, about 10km from the Liguria Sea. The city has seen much disruption since the Roman times, from medieval sea battles to those on land between Tuscan rivals Lucca and Florence, plus suffering severe damage during World War II.

Today, Pisa is a popular tourist spot with the city's unique Piazza dei Miracoli (The Square of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to Pisa's iconic Leaning Tower. However, beyond the tower, you will discover the many treasures of this city with its unique character, rich cultural heritage and glimpses of an authentic Italian lifestyle.
