Why visit Pisa?
Beyond the famous lean of the Piazza dei Miracoli, Pisa rewards those who wander past the bell tower into a dense network of medieval streets and lively university squares. Start at the marble Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the adjacent Camposanto Monumentale, then walk south to the bustling Borgo Stretto, where locals gather under historic porticoes for espresso and cornetti. Follow the riverbanks to the small Gothic church of Santa Maria della Spina before heading west to the Piazza dei Cavalieri, designed by Giorgio Vasari, which serves as the intellectual heart of the Scuola Normale Superiore.
Food culture here is anchored by robust Tuscan traditions and coastal influences. Seek out a traditional osteria in the San Martino district to order a steaming bowl of bordatino alla pisana, a comforting polenta and bean soup flavored with cavolo nero and pancetta, followed by cecina, a thin, savory chickpea flour pancake baked in wood-fired copper pans. Take an afternoon stroll through the botanical Orto Botanico di Pisa, the oldest university botanical garden in Europe, before ending your evening at a neighborhood enoteca tasting local Sangiovese wines.
