\nA pretty bell tower was built in the wrong spot. The poor foundation for the tower made it lean after construction and today the Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most interesting landmarks in Italy. You can climb to the top of the tower now, which most tourists do, so if you\u2019re traveling in the high season, be sure you buy tickets to the tower well in advance.<\/p>\n
\nThe tower of Pisa that leans so dramatically was built to house the bells for this grand cathedral, but today it is regularly overlooked by busy tourists. This lovely duomo, or cathedral, is striking and historical. Be sure to take a tour inside to learn and experience more about this beautiful city and its heritage. When you\u2019re finished touring the church, and presumably the tower, admire the Campo dei Miracoli. It\u2019s the bright green grass that surrounds the two structures. It\u2019s beautiful, but you can\u2019t picnic on it.<\/p>\n
\nLocated in the old Citadel, this tower is outside of town. By climbing to the top of the tower, you\u2019ll be able to see sweeping views of the city and the countryside. With historic churches and, of course, the tower in your vista, you\u2019ll want to snap a few pictures and perhaps even spend a few minutes in your peaceful surroundings to simply admire the beauty of the city and its famous buildings.<\/p>\n
\nIf you\u2019re ready to do some serious shopping after your serious sightseeing, stop by Borgo Stretto. This street is lined with chic boutiques and adorable stores. If your budget doesn\u2019t stretch to boutique shopping, grab a gelato and stroll the street to enjoy the ambiance and the fun of your surroundings. Take heart, however, in the fact that Pisa is a university town. If Borgo Stretto is out of your reach, simple head toward the university to find items of interest at prices students, and frugal travelers, can afford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
