Pisa

Pisa is one of Italy's great, aristocratic cities with its handsome Duomo and elegant Baptistery that are every bit as impressive as those buildings that you find in Siena and Florence. Although the city is best known for the astonishing Leaning Tower (which is a remarkable example of 12th Century Romanesque architecture), most visitors remember a stylish university town with a vibrant atmosphere, excellent restaurants and a refreshing absence of mass market tourists. We thoroughly recommend spending at least one night here.
