Having been historically a wealthy Italian maritime republic, it boasts a vast array of elegant, pristine works of medieval architecture including palaces, churches and, of course, the city's cathedral that includes the "leaning tower". After flights to Pisa, visitors can immerse themselves in the quiet charm of a small Italian city, complete with wonderful, authentic food, unique tourist sites and a buzzing atmosphere at night.
After arriving, travellers are able to unwind at the many excellent hotels and restaurants in the city centre. Pisa, like the rest of central and southern Italy, benefits from extremely mild winters and very warm summers, so travellers can simply sit at the many outdoor bars and cafes and enjoy the excellent food and drink that the city has to offer. As a student town, there are a number of options at night, from bars to nightclubs, many of which are very affordable. As such, the combination of traditional Italian charm with a student-friendly nightlife means that the city has much to offer people of any age.
