Visit historic sites offering the most spectacular blend of architecture and history in the fabulous city of Pisa, famous for the astronomer Galileo Galilei and his history-making discoveries.
Start the tour at the Church of Santa Maria della Spina, nestling by the picturesque Aron River. The exquisite Pisan-Gothic gem sets itself apart from plain buildings around with its intricate and fine exterior design in contrast to the simplistic yet attractive interior featuring some notable masterpieces of sculptures.
Next, cross the Middle Bridge. The main bridge connecting the northern and southern parts of the city offers stunning views of the atmospheric Aron River lined by eye-catching buildings of vibrant colors.
Then, stroll across Borgo Stretto for a delightful blend of historical architecture, including the Church of San Michele and the Settimelli Bar where Galileo Galilei was born, and charming artisan shops, boutiques, cafés, local eateries. Regular performances of street musicians and artists help create an enchanting ambiance for the cobbled streets.
The next destination is the Knights' Square, once the Roman Forum and later the headquarters of the Order of the Knights. A wealth of historic buildings here offer a lavish feast for the eyes. Highlights of all are the Palace of the Knights boasting intricate details and statues on the outer walls or the medieval Clock Palace, the setting of the dramatic story of a traitor being starved to death with his sons and grandchildren.
Go on to visit the most emblematic icon of Pisa: the Leaning Tower of Pisa, located in the Square of Miracles. The soft foundations cause it to lean about 4.0 degrees, which allows visitors to take creative photos. One fun fact is that Galileo Galilei conducted a famous experiment here to prove one of his most important theories.
After the tower, take a few steps to the Pisa Cathedral nearby. The majestic and magnificent white-marble church is a treasure in its own right. Together with other mind-blowing attractions sharing the square, this Romanesque jewel was declared a Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO.
Continue to admire the Baptistery of Pisa, the largest one in the world. Its unique combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles distinguishes the imposing baptistery from the monuments around it.
The final stop of the tour is the 12th-century Lion's Gate, whose name derives from the marble lion initially placed outside as a protector of the city. This gate is part of the well-preserved city’s medieval walls; you can walk along by yourselves to take in the panoramic views on combo tickets which also allows inside visits to other attractions in the square.
