Despite the charm of the majestic Piazza dei Miracoli, where the famous Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery and probably the highest population concentration of the city in high season are, Pisa hides some unmissable gems.
In my humble opinion it is a city on a human scale, easily crossed in half an hour on foot and with views of both art and everyday life that almost take your breath away.
At this point, what is the best way to cross it?
