Best things to do in Pisa

Parking

If you are looking for a parking space, it is located right next to Piazza dei Miracoli. I wrote about it in a separate article Where to park in Pisa.

Miracle Square (Piazza dei Miracoli)

When visiting Pisa, you will spend most of your time here. There is the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Camposanto. It will take you about 2-3 hours to walk around this square, depending on whether you pay for admission to the buildings or not.

Tower of Pisa

The iconic tower, which has been leaning since its completion in the 12th century. There is a fee to get to the top, pay at the tower. From the top you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city.

Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta

An imposing cathedral with Romanesque and Gothic architecture and beautiful marble inlays. Inside you will find the baptistery and pulpit by Niccolo Pisano.

The Baptistery

Baptismal font made of white marble with rich decoration. The interior is decorated with frescoes and baptismal font by Arnolfo di Cambio.

Santa Maria della Spina

Santa Maria della Spina, a picturesque Gothic church on the banks of the Arno. It is not possible to enter. From the outside you can see the rich sculptural decoration and the relics of Christ's crown of thorns.
