THE TREASURES OF PISA
Less than a 10-minute walk from the campsite lies one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks: Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the famous Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the impressive Camposanto Monumentale.
Walking along the medieval walls, you can admire Pisa from above and discover hidden corners of the city. Don’t miss Piazza dei Cavalieri, home to the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore, and a stroll along the Arno River, where you’ll find the Church of Santa Maria della Spina and the famous Tuttomondo mural by Keith Haring: a unique blend of art, history, and modernity.
NATURE AND RELAXATION
In the mood for greenery and tranquillity? The San Rossore Natural Park, easily reachable by bike, offers shaded trails, grazing horses, and paths immersed in nature.
In the city, you can unwind in the peaceful Botanical Garden, one of the oldest in the world, or relax in the greenery of Giardino Scotto, perfect for a picnic with a view of the city walls. And if you love the sea, the beaches of Marina di Pisa, Tirrenia, and Calambrone are perfect for a sunny day by the sea.
TUSCAN FLAVOURS
Tuscany is also a land to be savoured! During your stay, try freshly baked cecina, a warm Pisan soup, or pappa al pomodoro. Local trattorias serve authentic, traditional dishes, while local markets offer zero-kilometre products and typical specialties.
For wine lovers, there are plenty of opportunities to discover local excellence: the cellars of the Pisan hills offer tastings of Chianti and Vermentino in rustic, convivial settings.
