Good, what’s there to tell about Pisa? It’s got a leaning tower, that’s true, but what they don’t want you to know is that it’s one of probably many of less-than-straight towers through Italy. The fact is that Pisa is likely best done on a two-hour stop on the way from Point A to another city, because you’ve probably simply got to have the picture of yourself holding up the tower, right? Yeah, we thought so. No troubles, we’ve all done it. The bottom line is that except you’ve got a cause to stay longer, Pisa’s the perfect stop.
What to Do in Pisa Italy
There’s actually only one great reason people come to Pisa, and that’s to see the legendary leaning tower. Thankfully it’s very nearby to the main train station, so you can drop off your handbags in a locker and hop on a bus for the short ride to the pristine square around the Pisa’s leaning tower and church. The Leaning Tower in Pisa is really just the bell tower for the close cathedral, which is rather awesome in its own right. Visits of the cathedral and the baptistery (behind the church) are recommended, and inexpensive in comparison to the tower itself. The tower is sometimes open for ascending and sometimes not, depending on its stability, and it’s a good idea to book tickets in advance if you’re eager to climb it.
Getting To Pisa Italy
It’s in all probability that Pisa isn’t your only check in Italy, so your entry point is likely to be either Rome’s Fiumicino Airport or Milan’s Malpensa Airport. Either way, you’ll probably be taking the train to Pisa. Look for deals on airfare to Italy.
