We went to Pisa last February - we stayed in a small hotel called ‘7 Rooms’ which is about 5 minutes walk from the tower. We just stayed one night before taking the train to Florence.

During the day it was busy, understandable as the tower is a bit draw. We booked our tickets to climb the tower later in the day and timed it perfectly as we caught the sunset. It was beautiful. I’d also recommend going in the church, baptistry and campanile nearby.

Our hotel was lovely and we walked south of the river for pizza in a local place called Pizza Galileo on the evening which was away from the main tourist places and really good.

I found in the evening Pisa was really quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed it. Lovely little place, it’s busy during the day but you get a lot of day trippers in for the tower. For me it was worth an overnight stop for sure.
