As an expat in Italy for eight years and counting, I hold a BA in Theatre and Film Studies and an MSc in Media Organisation from the University of Bologna. I have always had a huge passion for discovering new places, having traveled all around the world since I was a child, so there were no second thoughts when searching for my niche.

We went 20 years ago before social media blew up. The Tower was anchored down by a cable at the time. It was very easy to enjoy the grounds, take pictures and just hang out. I am greatful to have seen Pisa back then... I am so taken back by the amount of people... but I cannot blame them for wanting to see such a beautiful iconc place. Love what you do! Keep up the great work... Italy is magical 🤍

Love it. Stayed overnight at the end of a tour around central Italy. Visit the square around 5:30am in late spring, and you'll have the place all to yourself (ex the carabinieri on duty) for 30 minutes. The late night views are also great, with no crowds. There is also the option to walk the walls surrounding part of the square.

Climbing the tower in Pisa is a must! it's such a cool experience to do

Just on the opposite side of the river from the cafe you were in is Palazzo Blu which is a great gallery and exhibition space. Well worth a visit.
I really love the city and don’t find it too busy beyond the tower area. I like the fact it’s smaller and easy to walk around.

I was debating on whether to go to Pisa on my next trip to Tuscany due to the crowds around. I guess that is just something we all have to deal with when traveling to well known places. Perhaps we will make a quick trip to admire the beauty and architecture, while walking through spots not known to most visitors.
Thanks for the video!❤

Why do they keep people off the grass by the tower? In Paris it is so fun for us to sit on the grass near their tower with a bottle and pastries, and talk to other tourists. Oh well.

I haven’t been to Pisa yet, but it is still in my list. As in many other ocassions I will try to go out of season, but in my opinion classic places shouldn’t be avoided because there’s usually a reason for them to be classic. Unfortunately many people are frequently ignorant of real history so they can’t discern between facts and tourists traps and legends (v.g. Juliet’s balcony in Verona). And if you are wise enough, after the obvious you can go on and search for the real, less famous and secret places, wich are the real joy.

Thank you I am going to Pisa next week this video is really helpful 👋👋👋

Spending half days in-between trip and stay in Florence in September. Yes the tower and church in the square but interested in anything else to fit in. Also have a day trip to Bologna

Ever heard of RATNESWAR MAHADEV TEMPLE? it's tilted 9° since 2500 BCE. I wonder why it's not in world Heritage list?

[MarcoSimpleVideos]

nice video, im from a small town near pisa

[spacecadetrik]

I just looked at your channel to see if you had done a video in Lucca. I am here for a few days and like to visit here regularly. Definitely would make a good video.

[thebrownknowser]

I would argue that Venice is a bigger tourist trap than Pisa. Great video!

[majaambroziak]

Thank you for the video. A bit random question but did you ever feel like when you were in university to drop out because it got hard at some point or not really

[brianattitude]

There are lots of tourist traps. How about the Amalfi Coast for one big one.

[nwumdvc]

I use to live there, and it's not worth the money, all the prices are crazy high due to all the tourist.

Hi - D E In Spring Time Which Is The Warmest So I Can Visit, Beautiful I Would LikeTo Visit Positano

[skeletoor]

I hope this blows up and less and less tourists come to this city, the administration and the landlords are so focused in accomodating more tourists that air BnB are taking the place of student houses who actually need em

We had a chance to go in April, but we skipped it. Our friends went and said it was a waste of Money. We did see the towner from the road on the way to Livorno

[Samah_Morph_exe]

Come to Lucca, Lucca is much better than Pisa 😄
