GUIDE TO PISA TOWER

Everyone that visits Italy must make the pilgrimage to see the leaning tower, a sublime accident, an icon of cityscape beauty, and an astonishing monument to human will. Experiencing one of the most memorable sights in Europe, some even say one of the seven wonders of the world in the aptly named “Field of Miracles”, with a small group is far better than being herded around in a large crowd.

We tell you why the tower was created, why it’s leaning and what’s being done to save it from toppling over into obscurity. Be prepared as the tower is renowned for taking the breath away of even repeat visitors. We also walk through picturesque food markets in Pisa where we stop for a delicious light lunch.
