A nice half-day visit
Pisa is a small residential town that so happens to have one of the great wonders of the world located in it. You don't need more than a day in the city, mainly just to see the Tower of Pisa. It's worth a stop for half a day because it is a lovely sight, although no more than that: there's literally NOTHING else to do than to look at one single building.
Insider Tip:Check out the Cathedral beside the Tower. It's quite beautiful inside, and when I went there was a guy playing the organ. It was really neat to watch!

Bicycle central!
Laid back city full of students, cyclists, and cool bikes. More to see than just the tower, although that is rather amazing. Check the Palazzo Blu for exhibitions and just to see its decor. Giardini Scotto is cool.
Insider Tip:Have correct coins to buy your bus tickets at the machine before you get on the bus = cheaper.

Pisa, Florence, Lucca.
You can do 3 places in 3 days. Easy to get around. Pick you place to eat as it can be £ sometimes. Pisa is a student town, so it has a good vibe.

Unexpected place
Apart from the Leaning tower of PISA, the student crowd and the cheap places really moved me. It was totally surprise as Italy is quite expensive and the pubs were great near the river side.
