Pisa

Below are a couple of photos from my recent trip to Pisa. Seeing the Leaning Tower in person is much different than viewing it in pictures. It may be touristy, but it's an incredible sight to take in and my roommates and I were very happy that we arranged a day trip to the area. There is a direct train that runs between Florence and Pisa. We took that, which was only a 45 minute ride, and walked right to the tower from the train station. Two hours is plenty of time to see the sights. After taking the classic Leaning Tower photo (below) we checked into buying tickets to climb to the top. However, we were shocked to learn that it was 18EUR, more than our round trip train ticket that day. A photo was good enough for us, so we boarded our train back to the city that we have come to love so much!
