Pisa Walking Tour
Pisa, Italy
Why Walk Pisa
Most visitors head straight to the Piazza dei Miracoli, pose for a photo with the Leaning Tower, and leave — but those who stay discover a genuine Tuscan city. The Piazza dei Miracoli is undeniably spectacular, with the Tower, Cathedral, Baptistry, and Camposanto in luminous white marble. Walk south along the Arno River and you find the Borgo Stretto arcade; the Gothic church of Santa Maria della Spina; the Keith Haring mural; and the Palazzo Blu art museum. The Lungarno riverside walks are beautiful at sunset, and the large student population gives Pisa affordable restaurants and a lively evening atmosphere.
