Cultural PisaItalian DiningRelaxing Pisa Breaks
The world celebrated Museo Nazionale di San Matteo is a beautiful museum within Pisa
with one of the most impressive collections of medieval paintings in the world. It is
a lovely place to spend an afternoon if you want a cultured activity out of the sun.
Alternatively treat yourself to a famous Italian ice cream and stroll along the banks
of the Arno River. There is no better way to see some of the older buildings and beautiful
sights.
Pisa has a number of dining options both close to the main attractions as well as in
the quieter areas of the city. Visit during the daytime and indulge in a hearty lunch
in one of the many cafés around the town, where fresh salads, delicious baguettes,
traditional pastas and of course pizza can be enjoyed. Whilst dining in the evening
allows for finer experiences if you wish, with some simply tantalising Italian meals
served by candlelight under the stars.
The Botanical Gardens created for the University of Pisa are beautiful and serene, and
allow for lazy afternoons in the sun surrounded by beautiful plants and landscaped gardens.
Join the students as they relax, indulge in a good book, or even study within these lovely
surroundings. Stretto Borso is the perfect place for finding quality goods and meaningful
souvenirs, and is less crowded than the shops close to the tower.
