Once a political stronghold, now a hub of academic excellence. Discover how this grand square bridges Pisa’s past and present.
Stroll this charming arcade-lined street full of artisan shops and student cafés. It’s where daily life hums beneath medieval arches.
Lungarno Mediceo
Follow the Arno River past noble palaces and poetic bridges. Hear how Pisa’s fortunes flowed with its waters.
Giardino Scotto
Take a break where locals unwind—inside the remnants of a fortress turned green haven. Children play, students lounge, and you’ll glimpse real Pisan life.
Chiesa di San Michele in Borgo
Tucked between shops and cafés, this Romanesque church offers a quiet close to your walk. Your host will point out its unique façade and rich history.
