A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, Pisa preserves its centuries of history in its palaces and in the remains visible in various corners of the city. Not only treasures such as the Tower and the incredible Piazza dei Miracoli, but one of the testimonies of its glorious past is the 12th-century city wall that still encloses what is considered the historic center of the city, with its four main districts divided by the Arno River. Many writers and men of science over the years have sung the praises of the Pisan Lungarno and today lend their names to its riverbanks, overlooked by some of the most distinguished palaces, once the residences of the most prestigious families. Pisa boasts a past as a maritime power: in addition to having been an important Roman port, it was one of the four Maritime Republics, whose trade brought great wealth to the city. But it is above all science that has made the city a thriving center of attraction: the birthplace of Galileo Galilei, it is home to the prestigious Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies and the Scuola Normale Superiore, as well as a major university. The nerve center of city life is Borgo, between the Santa Maria and San Francesco districts, one of the main streets characterized by an arcade lined with elegant palaces dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, lively with stylish venues and shops. Dynamism and entertainment are ensured by the festivals and events that throughout the year fill Pisa’s main cultural centers, with special mention of the Luminara di San Ranieri, a distinctive and unique display of lights that every June 16 illuminates the river for the celebration of the patron saint. A few kilometers from the center lies the San Rossore Park, once the summer residence of the President of the Republic and now a protected natural reserve. The city also enjoys an exceptional setting thanks to its proximity to the Apuan Alps 50 km away and to the Monti Pisani right by the center, an excellent backdrop for trekking and mountain-bike routes. Just 15 km away it is possible to reach the coast with its beaches and equipped seaside resorts to enjoy a typical Italian summer. The tourist port of Pisa is also located here, from which it is possible to set off on short sailing trips to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. The port of Livorno is instead only 25 km away and makes it possible to reach Corsica, Sardinia, and other European destinations. The city also has an airport, one of the main ones in Tuscany with domestic and international routes. Lastly, worth noting is the railway, whose connections make it possible to reach all the other cities on the peninsula. A 30-minute drive allows you to discover Lucca and the culinary traditions of the inland area, while the wonders of Florence can be reached in just an hour. Traveling 35 km, you reach Forte dei Marmi and Versilia.
