Andrea Pisac

Pisa is an iconic destination and one of the most renowned cities in the region of Italy. While many travelers pass through Pisa on their way to Florence, this city offers an array of attractions beyond its famous leaning tower. Situated on Italy’s western coast, Pisa is conveniently located just 20 minutes from the Ligurian Sea and boasts excellent transport connections to Florence, Livorno, and La Spezia. Despite its modest population of approximately 91,000, it has historically been a significant and influential city within the Tuscany region of Italy.

Easily one of the most recognizable structures in Italy and globally, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is an extraordinary sight! I experienced an overwhelming sense of awe upon seeing it in person; however, let’s backtrack to provide some context.
