Pisa in Italy is best known for its leaning tower said to have been standing since the time even before Galileo Galilee was born. It is located in the Tuscany region on the western part of the country. Its long history dates back to years before Christ was born.
Of course, its main attraction is the Leaning Tower of Pisa which is one of the main tourist attractions in the Piazza Dei Miracolli. Surprisingly, most of the tourists who visit the place are Asians. There are other nationalities among the crowd but Asians were the bulk of the visitors (maybe just on the day we were there).
Inside the piazza, there is the huge Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte and a vast garden where tourists rest and take pictures of the famous leaning tower.
But the city of Pisa is not all about its tourist spots. There are lush greenery in the other part of the city. It is also where the Arno River is located. It is the city's main tributary that leads to the Luguiran Sea (part of the Mediterranean Sea).
The other portions of Pisa are typical of any other city in Italy. The architecture, the ambience, the environment and the people make you feel that you are in an Italian set-up full of stories and history.
When visiting Italy, going to Pisa is a must. If only to see if the tower is still leaning. Yes, it still is and it was worth the visit.
