Highlights
Pisa is known for its famous leaning Tower but the city has a rich artistic and historical heritage.
We start our guided tour from Piazza del Duomo - better known as Miracles Square - the religious soul of Pisa where the famous leaning Tower, Cathedral, Bapistery and monumental Cemetery are located. All together they show Pisa's power during Middle Age.
Walking through Saint Mary street, full of touristic shops and restaurants, we arrive to Piazza dei Cavalieri, the former political and administrative heart of the city. Here we can admire the Church of Cavalieri built using the prestigious Carrara marble, the Palazzo della Carovana that nowadays hosts the Scuola Normale Superiore - the eight university in the entire world - and its library too.
We finish our visit in front of the river Arno, the main one in Tuscany, that separates Pisa in two areas: northern and southern. Along the river we see a beautiful panorama given by its palaces painted with various colours.
