There is a lot more to Pisa than the famous Leaning Tower! If you get some extra time, I would recommend you hit the Marina di Pisa. It is only a 20 mins drive from the city, and in my opinion it is worth the detour. The walk at sunset by the Arno bank in the estuary is brilliant. This is from there that I got this photo of those fishing huts. Also, the Yacht Club in the middle of the marina is an amazing spot to watch sunset and enjoy a Spritz!

Walk the banks of the Arno River today to see iconic bridges and resplendent palaces. Cruise the river waters by boat and rafting tours.
