Pisa Bites & Sights: Beyond the Leaning Tower Small Group Tour

Itinerary

Your Pisa adventure will begin at Vittorio Emanuele square. Once you have met your friendly local guide, we will take a short walk towards a tiny, almost hidden square where you’ll see a rare and stunning contemporary mural by the American street artist Keith Haring, which he bequeathed to the city just a few months before he died.

Shopping in former historic palaces is an everyday affair for Pisans. Your guide will show you some of the most fashionable places to shop amongst the grandeur in the Medieval former trade district, where Arabians, Europeans, and Africans once came to sell their wares. We will stop here for a little mid-morning sweet snack to keep your energy levels up.

At the end of the street we will enter the soul of Pisa; the Lungarni area which is the most picturesque part of town. We will see the beautiful Arno river flow by as it splits Pisa into two sides: the contemporary side that we have just walked through and the historic heart, where the ancient Romans chose to establish an important settlement and port over one thousand years ago.
