Mura di Pisa — Attraction in Pisa

I absolutely loved this. 5€ entrance per person, we entered close to Pisa tower and ended the walk next to the river. We took ca 1.5h at a calm pace with a little break. The walls are well maintained and the walk gives a super nice view of Pisa and all the life that goes on, passing the cathedral and tower, schools, sports fields, university, regular residential areas, some churches and more, while being in peace and a good distance away from the noise if the streets and traffic. Some entrances have a toilet to use (see the map). Keep in mind that there's not many benches or places to rest on the way. We went in off-season during the week and it wasn't crowded at all, maybe saw 10 people during the whole 3km. Some explanations and historical context for the main places is provided, but otherwise the walk itself was the main event. Really enjoyed and...

I went in around 4PM and I had hoped to take some good photos of the Pisa Tower under the sunset around 4:30PM. It was fun to walk on the walls, but the view around the Pisa Tower was quite disappointing. The Pisa Tower was kind of blocked by some residential buildings. The worst part is that an iron fence was erected at the exact spot where you could see the sunset and there was a sign that says no photos allowed. That is the only spot with an iron fence. If they don't want people to take pictures at such an iconic scene, they should've posted some signs at the entrance letting people know what they were getting into! If you have the time to walk the entire wall, this would be good to check out, but if you just want some photo opportunity, skip this place and...

If you're in Pisa, the Mura di Pisa (also known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa) is an absolute must-see attraction!

This iconic landmark is a wonder to behold, and you won't want to miss the opportunity to see it up close. However, be prepared for a long wait if you plan to climb to the top - the lines can be quite lengthy, especially during peak season.

To make the most of your visit, don't forget to bring some essentials: a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated, and a portable umbrella or sun hat to protect yourself from the scorching Italian sun. Trust me, you'll need them! The wait and climb can be challenging, but the breathtaking views from the top make it all worth it. So, take your time, stay comfortable, and enjoy this unforgettable...
