Pisa

Discover Pisa

Small but perfectly-formed - aside from one rather obvious hiccup in its building regulations a few centuries ago - Pisa combines an excellent location with stunning architecture and culture. Excellent transport links to Florence make it a must too.

A quick link to Italy

Found just a few miles away from the Mediterranean coast in the country's north west, Pisa's excellent transport links to Florence make it an essential stop-off for anyone looking for a quintessential Italian experience. It's also a great place to run wild in the aisles - with city shopping opportunities at town prices, it's the perfect place to stock up on your favourite fashions and fayre.

A short flight to Pisa International Airport - which is so close to the city centre, you could walk there in half an hour - will soon acquaint you with the (in)famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Italian Riviera exploration

Five colourful seaside towns make up the much-loved national park, Cinque Terre. Translation "Five Lands" in Italian. The Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail links the towns with sweeping sea vistas, old castles and small beaches to explore. Stop off throughout to enjoy the specialty seafood and the familiar local sauce, pesto.
