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). |
