If you’re visiting Pisa then, of course, you’ll be heading for the Leaning Tower, but there is a great deal more to this lively and ancient university town – we offer some insightful guided tours of Pisa that, optionally, can also include your ticket for visiting the Leaning Tower itself.
Below, for example, is a photograph of the Piazza dei Cavalieri and the splendid painted Scuola Normale, home to one of the world’s most famous ancient universities; the square is overlooked by the Conte Ugolino bell tower, featured in Dante’s the Divine Comedy. This and many more gems are just a few minutes walk away from the tower yet often go totally overlooked as visitors whisk through Pisa with just the one destination in mind.
