By far the most famous landmark in Pisa is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Since work on the bell tower was originally begun in 1173, the tower has been tilting 1 mm per year, despite initial attempts to fix it. In 1993, engineers fixed some of the lean (only 43.8 cm), which means that you have at least another three centuries to make sure that it's still there for you to visit. What's great is that now you can actually go inside and climb up to the top. Tip: In order to avoid waiting for hours in line for the tour (which only allows 40 people to enter at once,) it's best to book tickets in advance online.

Right next to the leaning tower is the often overlooked Duomo, or Cathedral, which dates back t 1064. It's an absolutely gorgeous cathedral, with intricate depictions of the Virgin Mary and the Virgin Birth as well as the Crucifixion of Christ. The consensus is that it's a worthwhile trip, with some even calling it better than the Leaning Tower. Tip: Both the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Duomo are so close, that they can both be easily visited in the same trip.

Also right next to the Tower and Duomo is the Baptistry of St. John, built in a dual Romanesque and Gothic style. While its breathtaking exterior gives much to look at, the inside of the Baptistry provides a fascinating look at St. John's as a musical instrument. Every half hour on the half hour, the doors are closed and an attendant sings a few notes to demonstrate the perfect acoustics present. You can also find out for yourself; if you whisper on one side of the baptistery, someone can hear you perfectly on the opposite side.

Not far by, Pisa's Botanical Garden waits for you to come and visit the oldest botanical garden in all of Europe. Come for a quiet stroll among the native and non-native flowers, plants and trees. Maintained by the University of Pisa, it's a small garden, but a welcome break from the hustle bustle of the city.

The Museo Nazionale di San Matteo is another exciting stop on any traveler's list of things to do in Pisa, with the collection housed in a Benedictine Monastery, and well worth it for the lover of 12th-15th century Italian art. With numerous statues, a fine collection of religious artifacts, crosses and works by Angelico, Pisano, Donatello, Michelozzo, Robbia and Martini. It's a forgotten little gem of a museum, and is highly recommended by those who come to visit.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Pisa Tower, otherwise known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, really was a labor of love, taking well over a hundred and fifty years to build. This tower is the campanile of the cathedral of Italy, which means that it is a freestanding bell tower. The tower is located in what is known as the field of Miracles (Campo dei Miracles), which is behind the actually cathedral's main building. The tower's most distinctive feature is that although it was designed to stand vertically, the tower's poorly laid foundation causes it to lean greatly toward the southeast. The lean angle is about 5.5 degrees, meaning that the top of the tower is over 4 meters from where it would be if the tower was correctly vertical.
