City of Pisa is located in the Tuscany region where famous of having many UNESCO heritage places. One of them is absolutly the leaning tower of Pisa. The city is actually not so big, it is a small city surround by stone wall. There is Anno river, crossing in the middle of the city. Instead of the duomo square where the tower is there, there are many churches and old builing spread inside the city.

The city of Pisa is close to Firenze, another famous tourism city in Italy. It is only 1.5 hours by regular train. As it is very near, I spend the day in these two cities. You can 'surf' the city in very quick time, can be less than 3 hours with one hour rest in the duomo square. When you arrive at the city station, Pisa centrale station, you can see a guide line how to have a quick of visiting all historical places inside the city. There are two ways, as the first also the main is heading directly to the Duomo square. From the station to the Duomo square, you will pass many churches and piazza that you can probably stop for a while to take some picture. The second route is to have a look other areas where also many ancient builiding are there, such as citadella, churches, piazza. The map is not free of charge here, you have to pay around 1 euro.

During night time, don't forget to have a look at piazza Garibaldi. Usually, there are some street music performance there. As many people concentrated to the Duomo square, you will find many silent parts in the city and having a rest for a while, enjoy the silent of Pisa and probably with an ice cream as you companion ..
