• Pisa

    October 17 in Italy ☁️ 59 °F

    There is so much to Pisa besides The Square of Miracles and yet there isn’t.
    Pisa is about a mile or so from the train station to the leaning tower. There is lots to see including at least one bridge to walk over.
    It’s hard to know what this place would look like without tourists. Like I’m uncertain how many locals actually live here. Though it’s easy to get caught up and just go to the monuments and not check out the rest of the town.
