What to do and see in Pisa, Tuscany: The Best Historic Walking Areas
Go ahead and take that photo of yourself with a tilted hand "holding up" the Tower of Pisa. We won't tell; your rep as a sophisticated traveler will remain unblemished. Now that you've gotten that out of the way, climb the tower's 300 steps for a tilted view, or visit the National Museum of San Matteo and the Camposanto cemetery.

Walking around this central square, one can find the Palace of the Scuola Normale of Pisa, the Church of S. Stefano and the Palace of the Orologio, where Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned and condemned to die, as narrated by Dante in the Divine Comedy.

This is the second most beautiful Piazza in Pisa, after the Piazza dei Miracoli, in my opinion. The shape of this square is that of a trapezoid. The main building is the Palazzo della Carovana, now Scuola Normale Superiore founded by Napoleon, which currently serves as extension of the local university. There are 2 churches and other historic buildings that beautifully sorround the square.

The old centre of Pisa isn;t just the leaning tower. In fact the tower gave the place its name but without it, it would have been just as much a must-see. The gothic and renaissance buildings are just overwhelming and it is everywhere. The Arno-banks as well as the Duomo-square it is all breathtaking. It is more quiet and relaxed than Siena once you get out of the tower area. Perhaps this city is preferable
