About Pisa

Pisa doesn't have a birthdate, this ancient city, founded along the River Arno, is full of Romanesque buildings and charming piazzas that beg to be explored at a slow meandering pace. Pisa is most famous for its tower, yet has some glorious buildings, monuments and churches that are to be admired. Despite being steeped in history, Pisa has a youthful vibe, thanks to the university, two thirds of residents are students.

Quick Guide to Pisa

Must Know: Fly into Galileo Galilei Airport. Pisa Centrale Railway Station (1 km away) is the main hub for local, inter-regional, Eurostar and Intercity trains.

Must see: Pisa is most famous for the leaning tower which is part of the cathedral, set in the Field of Miracles which also includes the baptistery and graveyard.

Must Do: Try the Cecina, a traditional Tuscan food made from chickpea flour and olive oil. The dish dates back to the XIII century.

The three structures found in the Square of miracles are said to symbolise the main stages in life: the Baptistery signifies birth, the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta) represents life and the cemetery symbolises death.

The airport is close to the city centre, just 1 km to the main train station. Trains depart every 30 minutes to the main station.
