Famous for its legendary leaning tower, Pisa is a charming city with historic churches, beautiful architecture, interesting history, and delicious food.

This charming town of Italy is best known for an architectural project gone humorously wrong. Pisa was once a maritime power that rivalled Genoa and Venice. Today, this beautiful city offers many noteworthy sights other than the leaning tower. The local economy has been fuelled by the education sector, with students all over the world competing for a spot in its elite university since the 1400s. The centre of town is endowed by a youthful crowd relaxing by the vibrant cafés and quirky restaurants balancing an enviable portfolio of well-preserved Gothic churches, Romanesque buildings, and Renaissance piazzas with busy and lively streets.
