I love Pisa in June
05 Jun 2010
The city celebrates Giugno Pisano with a series of events, including the special opening of some beautiful churches at night!
The Basilica of San Piero a Grado and the Coast

A lovely day trip from Pisa and some suggestions for restaurants and bars to try.
“Minor” museums in Pisa
05 May 2010
There are many interesting museums and galleries in Pisa which are outside the major tourist path. Art Wednesday is the perfect excuse to talk about them!
Walking in Pisa… and beyond.
04 May 2010
A few interesting links for those who wish to explore Pisa and the rest of Tuscany on foot.
Off-the-beaten-path Pisa: Le Piagge
21 Apr 2010
A great park just outside the center of the city, and a nice walk away from the crowds of the major sites. Also, home to the second leaning tower in the city!
Capodanno Pisano: New Year’s Day on March 25
25 Mar 2010
Pisa celebrates New Year’s Day on March 25 with a parade and a sunbeam lighting a marble egg in the Cathedral at midday sharp. A fabulous event that commemorates an ancient tradition!
Off-the-beaten-path Pisa: Via San Martino
24 Mar 2010
My favourite street in the city: beautiful buildings, an imposing medieval church, excellent restaurants, popular pubs, very interesting locals, and several peculiar stores.
Off-the-beaten path Pisa: the Church of San Francesco
23 Mar 2010
It is not always true that the off-the-beaten-path attractions in a city are smaller or more modest buildings. The imposing Church of San Francesco is hardly included in self-guided tours of Pisa, let alone the guided tours. Yet it is one of the most beautiful churches in Tuscany, with a wealth of treasures to discover and enjoy.
A relaxing job…
10 Mar 2010
A cold day in Pisa, a slow morning for the guardians of the Leaning Tower!
The Botanic Garden in Pisa
03 Mar 2010
The oldest university botanic garden in the world and a peaceful place to hide from the crowds of Piazza dei Miracoli.
