City breaks to Pisa
Located in the central Italian province of Tuscany, the city of Pisa is known around the world for its famous Leaning Tower. With over 3000 years of history the city of Pisa is a popular city break destination and tourists flock by their thousands to sample the city’s delights. The area of Campo dei Miracoli or the Piazza dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) houses the impressive white marbled structure of the city cathedral or Duomo and its circular baptistery or Battistero and the bell tower that is better known as the Leaning Tower. The buildings combine Gothic, Moorish and Romanesque architecture and are the main sights of the city. On the north bank of the River Arno the historical Old Town of Pisa stands still surrounded by its 12th century walls. The Piazza Garibaldi is a bustling square full of cafes and shops and is a good place to take a rest and do some people watching.
