What to do in Pisa

Well, there really is only one place to start when exploring Pisa. The world-famous Leaning Tower has fascinated travellers since it was first built way back in the 14th century. The unintended tilt is as a result of its foundations being built on soft ground not suited to supporting such a great weight - but it's that lean which gives the Tower such character.

A historical timepiece is always good value for sightseers, and the Clock Palace of Pisa is no different. It's made up of two 17th century towers joined by a central arch, with the ornate clock the centrepiece. If you ever get tired of the outstanding architecture on display throughout the city, head to the Orto botanico di Pisa. This botanic garden features lush shrubs, calm ponds and is home to a variety of native creatures, making it an interesting attraction on your Pisa travels.
