ADVICE

The city is a fairly long way from us (around 1 hour 30 mins) so we advise you to combine a visit to the city with visits to other interesting sites (LUCCA, SAN MINIATO, MONTECATINI). Those flying in or out of Pisa should allow around 3 hours to visit the city.

White bean soup, "cee alla pisana", schiacciata di ceci (cecina) (crisp-bread made with chick peas), and fish..

• Wines: Chianti delle Colline Pisane (white and red), and Montescudaio (white, red, vin santo).
