Activity itinerary

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina
  • 15m
Start the tour at the Church of Santa Maria della Spina, nestling by the picturesque Aron River. The exquisite Pisan-Gothic gem sets itself apart from plain buildings around with its intricate and fine exterior design in contrast to the simplistic yet attractive interior featuring some notable masterpieces of sculptures.
Ponte di Mezzo (Pass by)
Next, cross the Middle Bridge. The main bridge connecting the northern and southern parts of the city offers stunning views of the atmospheric Aron River lined by eye-catching buildings of vibrant colours.
Borgo Stretto
  • 15m
Then, stroll across Borgo Stretto for a delightful blend of historical architecture, including the Church of San Michele and the Settimelli Bar where Galileo Galilei was born, and charming artisan shops, boutiques, cafés, local eateries. Regular performances of street musicians and artists help create an enchanting ambiance for the cobbled streets.
Knights’ Square
  • 15m
The next destination is the Knights' Square, once the Roman Forum and later the headquarters of the Order of the Knights. A wealth of historic buildings here offer a lavish feast for the eyes. Highlights of all are the Palace of the Knights boasting intricate details and statues on the outer walls or the medieval Clock Palace, the setting of the dramatic storey of a traitor being starved to death with his sons and grandchildren.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
Go on to visit the most emblematic icon of Pisa: the Leaning Tower of Pisa, located in the Square of Miracles. The soft foundations cause it to lean about 4.0 degrees, which allows visitors to take creative photos. One fun fact is that Galileo Galilei conducted a famous experiment here to prove one of his most important theories.
Cattedrale di Pisa
  • 20m
After the tower, take a few steps to the Pisa Cathedral nearby. The majestic and magnificent white-marble church is a treasure in its own right. Together with other mind-blowing attractions sharing the square, this Romanesque jewel was declared a Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO.
Battistero di San Giovanni
  • 15m
Continue to admire the Baptistery of Pisa, the largest one in the world. Its unique combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles distinguishes the imposing baptistery from the monuments around it.
Lion's Gate
  • 15m
The final step of the tour is the 12th-century Lion's Gate, whose name derives from the marble lion initially placed outside as a protector of the city. This gate is part of the well-preserved city’s medieval walls; you can walk along by yourselves to take in the panoramic views on combo tickets which also allows inside visits to other attractions in the square.
