Pisa short breaks - Outstanding medieval buildings
While no Pisa weekend break is complete without seeing the famous leaning tower, most visitors come away from Pisa city breaks with abiding memories of narrow medieval streets, glorious Romanesque churches, stately palazzi, beautiful arcades and the glorious ensemble of medieval buildings in the Campo dei Miracoli: a kind of medieval park containing an extraordinary cathedral, Italy’s largest baptistery, an amazing marble cemetery and an outstanding museum, as well as the jaw-dropping Leaning Tower of Pisa. Long weekend breaks in Pisa will have more time to explore the banks of the River Arno with its graceful palaces and mansions, and could even find time for a trip to the lovely city of Lucca or world-famous Florence.

Pisa weekend breaks - Authentic restaurants
Pisa city breaks offer a surprisingly authentic experience of Italian life. With many tourists visiting for just a few hours, Pisa city breaks offer a remarkably genuine selection of cafes and restaurants. The city’s student population ensures plenty of good economical Italian food alongside Pisa’s fine selection of quality restaurants. In common with Milan, Rome, Venice and Florence, Pisa weekend breaks offer plenty for the keen shopper, if on a slightly smaller scale.

Pisa weekend breaks can be a delight in spring and autumn when the city receives far fewer visitors than the summer. Whenever you go, Pisa city breaks offer a relaxing and rewarding taste of Italy at its very best.
