Plan your trip to Pisa

If you’re traveling to Tuscany for the concert, take some time to discover Pisa beyond the Leaning Tower. Of course, climbing to the top of the Torre Pendente is a must — just remember to book your ticket in advance, as access is limited and often sells out.

But Pisa has much more to offer. A few minutes from the main tourist area, you’ll find the Auditorium Centro Maccarrone, where Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra has painted one of his vibrant murals — a colorful piece that bridges contemporary street art with Pisa’s rich artistic tradition. It’s a great stop for photography lovers and those seeking a local, less touristy experience.

If you’re planning to stay overnight, explore our selection of hotels in Pisa for every budget, from charming boutique stays to luxury accommodations near the Arno River.

Want to extend your trip? Head to nearby Lucca, famous for its Renaissance walls and the Lucca Summer Festival, or take a scenic day trip through the Tuscan countryside, known for its vineyards, olive groves, and medieval towns.
