Pisa

While in Pisa be sure to visit the Piazza del Duomo, a huge square studded by fabulous buildings, including Pisa’s landmark, its Leaning Tower. However, it is not only the Leaning Tower that makes the Piazza del Duomo such a winner, it is studded with many other magnificent buildings, all of which are outstanding architectural jewels and happily are open to the public as museums. You can buy one ticket allowing entrance to all. Climb to the top of the Leaning Tower (which is once again open for visitors after being strengthened by massive cables). Also, don’t miss the breathtaking Duomo or the Baptistery. Since we first visited Pisa many years ago, an awesome transformation has taken place. The buildings have been scrubbed cleaned and returned to their original splendor, making Pisa a joy to visit.
