20 Things to do in Pisa, Italy: Best places to see

Pisa in Italy is full of beautiful places just like the whole of Tuscany. Check out the complete guide for tips on things to do in Pisa and other practical information on transport, accommodation, prices, food and other useful tips.

Pisa in Italy

Pisa is located in the north-west of Tuscany. Just 10 km from the Ligurian Sea and 80 km from Florence. It’s a city of nearly a hundred thousand people, famous for its Miracle Square, Leaning Tower, magnificent cathedral and winding historic streets. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy.

You only need 1 day to visit it. But I recommend you to set aside more time, because you can spend the next days in the surroundings of Pisa, which are also definitely worth it (we’ll show you some tips at the end of the guide).

Things to do in Pisa: Best places to see

When you say Pisa, most of us probably think of the Leaning Tower. But this is not the only sight to visit in Pisa.

Come and see the interesting places to see in Pisa:

1. Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles)

Piazza dei Miracoli is one of the best places to visit in Pisa. It is the exact spot where the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa also stands.

The main entrance to the Piazza dei Miracoli is the Porta Nuova (New Gate) from 1562, which is part of the medieval fortifications. There are many stalls in front of the gate, which will tell you that you are definitely going in the right direction.

You go through the entrance gate (you don’t pay anything yet) and you can see the Baptistery, the Cathedral of Pisa on your left and the Leaning Tower behind it. Behind the cathedral on the left is the Camposanto monumentale cemetery.

The placement is not random. In the Piazza dei Miracoli, the baptistery represents birth, the cathedral represents life and the cemetery represents death.

The square is officially called Piazza del Duomo, as in many other Italian cities where the cathedral reigns supreme ( Milan, for example). In 1910, however, the Italian writer Gabrielle d’Annunzio described the square in one of her books as a place full of miracles, and the description took hold so that people nicknamed the square Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles). Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If you plan to visit Pisa during the high season, it’s best to save Piazza dei Miracoli for later in the afternoon, when there are fewer tourists.

Admission to the square and the cathedral is free. If you are planning to visit the Leaning Tower, the entrance fee is €20. The entrance fee for all of this is 27 €. Below we will tell you more about each place.

2. Cathedral of Pisa (Cattedrale di Pisa)

According to the Pisans, the Romanesque Cathedral of the Assumption in Pisa (Cattedrale di Pisa) was to become the most beautiful and largest cathedral in the world. The rulers of the Pisan Republic wanted to show their power and wealth. The largest cathedral is the Duomo in Milan, but its beauty cannot be denied. It is magnificent and often more eye-catching than the Leaning Tower behind it.

The construction of the cathedral began in 11th century and is thus the oldest building in the Square of Miracles. The cathedral has been restored and enlarged several times over the centuries. In 16th century, a fire broke out here, destroying the roof and a large part of the medieval frescoes. That is why most of the frescoes inside the cathedral are from the Renaissance period.

The huge mosaic of Christ on the apse and the six-sided pulpit by Giovanni Pisano with New Testament themes, which inspired Michelangelo, survived the fire. The tomb of Saint Rainerius, patron saint of the town and its visitors, and the magnificent coffered ceiling are also worth seeing.

Pisa Cathedral was also the model for the cathedrals in Florence and Siena, other cities in Tuscany not far from Pisa.

Pisa Cathedral entrance and opening hours

The entrance to the cathedral is opposite the baptistery and consists of 3 large bronze doors. If you look closely, you can see the stories the doors tell. You enter the cathedral and check in with the worker on your left.

Please note: Admission to the Pisa Cathedral is free, but you must have purchased a ticket for another location within the Square of Miracles complex (such as the entrance to the Leaning Tower). So you need to keep your ticket to get into the cathedral. The cathedral is open daily from 10:00-20:00 (13:00-20:00 on Sundays and public holidays). Book a ticket for the Cathedral and the Leaning Tower.

3. Leaning Tower of Pisa (Torre pendente)

There is no more famous monument in Pisa. The Leaning Tower has become a symbol of the city and attracts millions of visitors every year who want to take a symbolic photo. The Leaning Tower must be on your list of things to do in Pisa.

The Romanesque bell tower is 55.86 m high on the shortest side and up to 56.67 m on the longest side and consists of 8 floors. The tower took 200 years to complete, but the work itself took only 20 years.

Why is the Leaning Tower of Pisa Leaning?

This is due to the unstable floor containing a large amount of sand and the architect’s error in not taking the floor into account. This caused the Leaning Tower of Pisa to start tilting during the construction process and the construction was suspended. In 1990, the angle of inclination was even 5.4 degrees and the Leaning Tower was in danger of collapsing.

The tower was closed and in 1993 work began on securing the structure using drills to remove sandy soil and ropes to secure the tower, which partially stabilized the Leaning Tower and “straightened” it by 0.5 degrees.

Leaning Tower of Pisa tickets, admission and opening hours

Admission to the Leaning Tower is €20 for everyone over the age of 8.

Due to the influx of tourists, you must book your ticket in advance for a specific time. With this, you will then arrive at the tower, where you will see a worker letting in a small group of visitors every 15 minutes.

For safety reasons, only children over the age of 8 can enter the tower and children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

The tower is open daily from 9:00-20:00.

4. Museum dell’Opera del Duomo

The Museo dell’Opera del Duomo displays the rich embroideries, paintings, decorations, busts and other art from the cathedral and the Piazza del Miracles to protect against air pollution. The most famous bust is that of Julius Caesar, which faithfully represents what Caesar looked like, as it was made during his lifetime or shortly afterwards.

The museum is located on the right side of the Leaning Tower. Admission to the museum is 7 €.

5. Camposanto monumentale (Campo Santo)

The Camposante monumentale is a place on the left side of the cathedral that has been used for centuries as a cemetery for the elite of Pisa. It has 3 chapels and is made of shiny white marble. Inside, it hides beautiful Roman statues and frescoes, which were badly damaged during the bombing of the Second World War. World War II. Since then, sensitive restoration work has been underway.

Camposanto monumentale is called Campo Santo, which literally means Holy Field. According to legend, it was built around the sacred soil of Golgotha, which the Pisans brought back from the Third Crusade. The body is said to rot in the sacred soil of Campo Santo for only 24 hours after burial. Admission to Campo Santo is €7.

6. Baptistery in Pisa

The Baptistery of Pisa (Battistero di San Giovanni) is located at the very beginning of the square and will literally amaze you with its ornaments, decorations and statues. At 54 m high and 34 m wide, it is the largest Baptistery in Italy.

Do you know why baptisteries are so big? So the bishops can baptize all the children at once. The local baptistery was built in the 11th-14th century and replaced the original baptistery.

Like the cathedral and the Leaning Tower, it stands on an unstable floor, so it leans slightly towards the cathedral.

If you look inside the Baptistery, you will see an octagonal baptismal font in the middle. The stairs take you to the upper gallery, which has an unusual echo thanks to its double dome. Admission to the baptistery is 7 €.

7. Sinopie Museum

The Sinopia Museum is housed in a red-orange building on the right-hand side of Piazza del Duomo. Here you will find preparatory drawings and rough sketches that served as a model for the frescoes in the Camposanto monumentale. Admission to the Sinopia Museum is 7 €.

8. Medieval fortifications

If you walk from the baptistery towards the cemetery and follow the walls to the left, you will reach one of the entrances to the medieval fortifications with the 12th century Torre di Santa Maria. The walls have a total length of 3 km and the entrance costs about 3 € (pay on the spot).

Why come here? Only a handful of tourists come here and there are beautiful views of the whole square.

9. Museo Nazionale di San Matteo

Do you love art? Then you shouldn’t miss the Museo Nazionale di San Matteo, which includes medieval art, altarpieces and other interesting works from the 12th -15. century. The museum is housed in a former convent building in Piazza San Matteo. Admission is 5 € (reduced 2 €).

You can get in at specific times: from Tuesday to Saturday only at 9.00, 11.30, 15.30, 17.30 and on Sundays and public holidays at 9.00 and 11.30.

10. Botanical Gardens of the University of Pisa

Botanical gardens from 16th century are located in the historic centre of the city and are one of the oldest academic botanical gardens in the world. Here you will find an arboretum, aquatic and medicinal plants and plenty of trees where you can take a break from the scorching sun of the city during the summer months. The old botanical school with its facade decorated with shells is worth seeing.

The garden is open from 8:30-17:00. Admission is 4 €, reduced admission 2 € for children 6-12 years old and free for children under 6 years old and persons with a Disabled Persons Card including an escort.

11. Piazza dei Cavalieri

Piazza dei Cavalieri, or Knights’ Square, was the seat of government and a centre of political art in the Middle Ages. This has changed over the centuries and today it is instead the imaginary academic centre of the city. Piazza dei Cavalieri is decorated with several beautiful buildings and a church.

At first glance you will be struck by the magnificent sgraffito and busts on the Palazzo della Carovana, home to the prestigious University of Pisa – the Scuola Normale Superiore, founded by Napoleon in the 18th century (you can find the school’s double in Paris). Sgraffito is a mural painting technique typical of the Renaissance. The patterns are created by scraping two different coloured plasters.

To the right of the Palazzo della Carovana is the Church of San Stefano and to the left is the Palazzo dell’Orologio, named after the great clock.

Piazza dei Cavalieri is named after the Knights of St. Stephen, who were based here from the 16th century. You will see their red and white symbol directly on the buildings.

12. Borgo Stretto a Corso Italia

Where to go shopping in Pisa? Borgo Stretto is a medieval street full of cafés and shops. It’s alive here. You will reach the river, where you will cross the Ponte di Mezzo bridge and reach another famous street, Corso Italia. A place full of shops and street food.

Corso Italia takes you to the spacious Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, with a statue of Vittorio Emanuele II in the centre. Not far from here, on one of the walls of the church, you will see Tuttomondo (see below).

If you walk from the train station (or airport) towards the Piazza del Fuego, you will first walk along Corso Italia and then Borgo Stretto.

13. Old Town

The streets of the old town are a joy to explore. Just wander around and you will discover hidden corners and authentic Pisan life.

14. Tuttomondo

Tuttomondo is a mural by American artist Keith Haring, who originally came to the city to visit a friend. During his visit, he saw the church wall destroyed by World War II and decided to restore and paint it.

Tuttomondo is a fresh piece of street art and a perfect contrast to the rest of Pisa’s historic core. The painting consists of 30 figures in different positions and colours, representing peace and vitality. Tuttomondo is surrounded by a glass wall.

15. Lungarno Promenade

The promenade is one of the top places to visit in Pisa. And you can’t avoid it when walking through the historic city centre. The promenade lines the banks of the Arno River, which runs through the city (and Florence). The water reflects the surrounding historic homes and palaces.

16. Palazzo Blu

Palazzo Blu is right on the riverbank. You can easily recognize it by its blue color. Inside is a collection of fine art by artists from Pisa from the 14th. to 20th century. The permanent collection is complemented by temporary exhibitions of important artists (Chagall, Miro, Dali and others). On the first floor you can enjoy aristocratic apartments from the 19th century.

Entrance to Palazzo Blu is free. It is open daily from Monday to Friday 10:00-19:00 and on weekends and holidays 10:00-20:00.

17. Church of Santa Maria della Spina (Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina)

The small church of Santa Maria della Spina can be found on the left bank of the Arno River, opposite the Museo Nazionale di Pisa (National Museum of Pisa). The church was built in Gothic style and its facade is made of white marble.

Spina means thorny. This is derived from the thorn preserved in the church, which is said to have belonged to the crown of thorns Christ wore on his head at his crucifixion.

18. Torre della Cittadella

The symbol of the Maritime Republic. The Torre della Cittadella is a historic tower whose purpose was to control the part of Pisa where the river flowed into the sea. The sea was only at Pisa and over the years it has moved up to 10 km from the city. If you would like to learn more about the maritime history of Pisa, don’t miss the Maritime Museum.

19. Basilica of San Piero a Grado

We move to the outskirts of the town, where you will find the Basilica of San Piero a Grado, built in Pisan Romanesque style. It is a bit overlooked, but definitely worth seeing.

And what’s special about this place? Supposedly, the vanished port of the Pisan Republic once stood here.

You can visit Marina di Pisa on your way to the sea. Just make a small left turn at the roundabout and a little beyond the cemetery you will see the Basilica of San Piero a Grado on your right.

Pisa beaches and sea

The sea is only 10 km away, so it would be a shame not to visit at least one beach. It may not have the most beautiful beaches in Italy, but you won’t be disappointed either.

In addition, some of the beaches around Pisa have been awarded the Blue Flag in recent years. It is awarded to beaches that have met strict standards for cleanliness, service and environmental friendliness.

Marina di Pisa

The nearest seaside town is Marina di Pisa, where you will find sandy and rocky beaches.

The sandy beaches are mostly private for a fee between 10-30€ (you get a sunbed, towel etc) – they are called Stabilimento. There is also an unpaid beach, which consists of smaller white pebbles.

There are buses to Marina di Pisa and the journey takes 30 minutes. The bus stop is a short walk from the beach. To the south of Marina di Pisa is Tirrenia, which also has several public and paid beaches.

Marina di Torre del Lago

North of Pisa is the long sandy beach of Marina di Torre del Lago, which stretches south to Vecchiano. For us, this is the most beautiful beach around Pisa and everyone who likes wild swimming and sand with fine dunes will love it. The beach is largely public, so don’t expect extra services.

The car park is only 5 minutes from the beach and you can take the train from Pisa in 14 minutes (from the train station it takes about half an hour to the beach). There is plenty of greenery in the area where you can walk freely and cool off under the trees.

You’ll find a beautiful, landscaped, full-service beach in Viareggio, just north of Torre del Lago Puccini.

Florence

Cinque Terre

Looking at the Cinque Terre, you’ll probably be amazed at how incredible this place is.

Cinque Terre features five fishing villages wedged into steeply terraced cliffs along stretches of rocky coastline. The villages are characterised by pastel-painted houses, small harbours full of fishing boats and hiking trails with breathtaking views.

The gateway to the Cinque Terre is the town of La Spezia, a 1-hour train ride from Pisa. Regional trains leave from the same station for the villages of the Cinque Terre (Manarola is 14 minutes away, Riomaggiore 7 minutes).

Tuscan countryside

The Tuscan hills are dotted with olive groves, vineyards and ancient villages. The landscape is beautifully undulating and picturesque. It is in Tuscany that you will find some of the most famous wineries in the world, including the Chianti winery.
