Pisa Attractions
Top Attractions
Lungarni - To understand the past and the present of Pisa, one should not miss a walk around the Lungarni, the streets running along the river. There are amazing buildings here, popular and noble. Walking on the Lungarno you can see the typical Tower houses, and many noble palaces which accommodated famous writers over the centuries, such as Lord Byron and P.B. Shelley.
Piazza dei Cavalieri - Piazza dei Cavalieri is as beautiful as the Field of Miracles, with the only difference that most tourists just ignore it! It is an amazing square, which is believed to have been the heart of the forum at the time of Roman Pisae. It was the centre of the political power during the Republican period and it was transformed by Cosimo I of the Medici family into the head quarters of the new military force of the Knights of Saint Stephen. The present look is due to a redesign by famous architect Vasari. There are very beautiful buildings hosting one of the most prestigious Universities in Italy, Scuola Normale Superiore and the beautiful Church of Santo Stefano. The library of the school was the tower of the Count Ugolino mentioned in Dante's Divina Commedia.
Osteria dei Santi - This is one of the first non-touristy restaurants in the Tower area. It is very affordable and it has excellent food. It is very busy at lunch time because the people who work at the University Departments nearby go there.
Pisa Activities
