Pisa City Reviews

Pisa. Just the tower.

It's just the tower. Nothing else worthwhile as far as I could tell.

  • Insider tip:Get in and out of the tower early. Then skip town.

2 days in Pisa..

Piazza dei Miracoli is great!! but there is no more to see in the city.. maybe a little bit dark and lonely in the night

  • Insider tip:Filippo Pizza and Capodaglio restaurant.. very good.. a little bit expensive the second one..

This hotel was great. For first night travelling alone in italy; I ate and drank at the hotel then Gavino took me to see tower and surrounds by evening light. Staff are friendly and lovely place to stay. VERY central, VERY clean! alot of personality to the hotel. I will be back!

hardly worth a second day

Pisa is a pleasant small town with some nice little squares. There´s exactly one thing really worth a look - the tower. Admission 15 Euros - bommer.

  • Insider tip:good for a daytrip from Florence.

Pisa is just ok

Pisa, was good for the night and it served its purpose.....Arrived in late and couldn't get to Florence. It is very pretty but besides the tower there is not much else to offer.....having said that I enjoyed my stay there.....I found some of the locals unfriendly and it was a nightmare asking for directions. Not sure if it is an Italian thing but they dont seem to like tourists which is funny when you think of it!!!!

  • Insider tip:Head To Florence....Great SPot!!
