Leaning tower of Pisa basic tour guide














Even during construction, it has been discovered towers prone. Currently geoengineering measures are being taken to ensure the stability of the tower. The beauty of the tower with its tilt attract tourists annually to Pisa. Recently, two churches German competition is the name of the building tilted tower in the world: in Suurhusen square tower, from the 13th century, and the bell tower in Bad Frankenhausen past century stand 14Thap 3, 97 tilt, which means that if the tower upright, will tower above the ceiling of 3.9 m. Guinness Book of Records to Pisa and Suurhusen and measured the tilt of the tower of Pisa is 3.97 degrees. Nothing says Pisa more than its Leaning Tower, keystone of the Romanesque Campo dei Miracoli, but this city of ancient architectural wonders goes against type with its young and upbeat feel. Native son Galileo may be long gone but students still come here to study at the prestigious university where he taught and enjoy the city's vibrant vibe. Things to See & Do Seeing the Leaning Tower's lopsided beauty may satisfy, but to do it justice you can climb the 294 steps at a five-degree angle to the top for views over the Campo's other spectacular Romanesque monuments: the Duomo, Baptistery, and Camposanto. The underrated collection at the Museo Nazionale di San Matteo is another essential stop. Relaxation For a relaxing break from the Campo's bustle, roam the streets around arcaded Borgo Stretto as they burst into life every morning during the market, then head for the Orto Botanico, one of the oldest botanical gardens in Italy. Regular boat trips also depart from the center, cruising the Arno as far as the empty Tenuta di San Rossore, wedged between the city and the sea. Restaurants & Dining In Pisa's medieval center, plenty of simple trattorie keep the locals well fed. Pisa's maritime history means that a traditional menu here specializes in fishy delights such as baccalà alla pisana, salt cod stewed in tomato sauce. La Mescita, in the heart of the produce market, serves the freshest ingredients. Nightlife & Entertainment Pisa is probably Tuscany's liveliest city when night falls. Locals and students while away their evenings in the bars and nightclubs around Piazza Garibaldi, and along Borgo Stretto and the banks of the River Arno. On a warm evening here you'll find groups gathering outside to sip beer and aperitivi from chic bars, then heading to laidback haunts with live music or DJ sets.
