The city
What to expect from Pisa.
Pisa, on the banks of the Arno, is known worldwide for the leaning tower, which stands in the Piazza dei Miracoli next to the cathedral, the baptistery and the Camposanto, a complex that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond the square, the university city has the Piazza dei Cavalieri and the lungarni, the riverside avenues. With an airport a few minutes from the center and trains to all over Tuscany, it is often the region's gateway.
