Things To Do
Piazza del Duomo
The leaning tower of Pisa, Cathedral, Camposanto, and Baptisterium all sit in a beautiful grass square that’s free of cars. This area is now a designated UNESCO world heritage site because of its cultural and historical significance. After you’ve visited all the sights, spend a few hours just lying in the grass around the monuments. This is a beautiful way to spend an afternoon in Pisa!
Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina
Pisa has lots of churches, but Santa Maria Della Spina is arguably the most beautiful of them all. This tiny church has a detailed Gothic facade and a unique setting on the riverbank. Della Spina means ‘of the thorn’ as one of the thorns from Jesus’ thorn crown once rested at this site.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa has become famous for its noticeable tilt (of 5.5 degrees), making the building look as if it defies gravity! The eight-story building is the cathedral’s bell tower, although the bells haven’t rung in over 100 years.
Best Cafes and Restaurants Pisa
Peperoncino Pasticceria Dolcepisa (vegan and gluten-free options) Ristoro Pecorino Filter Coffee Lab (hipster vibe) Kabuto Ramen & Bistrot Try to stay away from restaurants located right by the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Although the view is good, the prices are much higher, and you’ll find some more authentic places to eat down the narrow streets.
