Pisa is a city that lives suspended between the past and the present: world-famous for its Leaning Tower, Pisa offers much more to its visitors than one can imagine. Situated along the banks of the Arno River, Pisa was one of the four Maritime Republics, a relevant center of trade, a crossroads of cultural exchange, and even today its legacy can be seen in the splendid architectural and artistic heritage that invades its every street, its every palace, its every corner.

Discovering Pisa also means getting in touch with its university traditions, as the city is home to one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe, founded in 1343. Many tourists come to Pisa with the idea of taking the classic photo with the leaning tower, but a thorough visit allows them to discover a rich set of monuments, churches, squares and museums that tell the story of this city.
