If you have read my review for non art lovers for Florence then you may realise I am not going to rave about the fantastic museums and other sites in Pisa!! We went for a half day quick visit to Pisa from Viareggio where we were staying. We travelled by bus which was nice and easy as it drops you off directly in front of the tower attraction. What can I say about the tower? Well it does exactly as it says in the brochure, it leans. End of that review!! There are lots of market type stalls at the leaning tower all selling cheap tourist tat, but good to browse at. We had lunch at one of the many pizzerias/restaurants around the tower, but this was spoilt by the hawkers that kept coming up and disturbing your eating, trying to sell their watches and pens etc. They are insistant and difficult to get rid of without resorting to rudeness to them. We then went for a wander down to the river, but as we visited on a Sunday, not many shops in the city were open and the place generally was very quiet. I felt Pisa was not as interesting as Florence for a city to visit, but we did visit on probably not the best day and also went at the end of May, which may be a quieter time in general.

Pity you didn't enjoy Pisa. My memory recreates a calming and layback atmosphere, where I relaxed totally after having been crushed by hordes of tourists doing the galleries and museums of Florence in searing heat.

Would be nice to see some more information on Pisa as it does have so much more to offer. Av xx
