Attractions and activities near Pisa Airport

• Leaning Tower of Pisa: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Italy's most famous structures. Construction on the tower started in the 12th century and took nearly 200 years. This famed ball tower leans due to an unstable foundation, which has caused the tower to tilt over four degrees. The tower itself features Romanesque architecture with six layers of white marble arches. The Leaning Tower of Pisa has played a part in many of the city's most famous events, and even Galileo was baptized at the tower in 1565.
  While visiting, ensure you take a classic picture of your trying to push the tower back into position from the Piazza dei Miracoli. If you're planning to climb to the top of the tower, try to book ahead of time. Only a certain number of people are allowed to climb the tower each day, and tickets sell out quickly. You can't bring any bags up the tower with you, so stop by a Pisa Airport luggage storage service beforehand. 
• Cattedrale di Pisa: Pisa Cathedral is another of Pisa's best architectural and historic buildings. While not as well-known as its leaning neighbor, Pisa Cathedral features similar Romanesque architecture, but with subtle Middle East-inspired accents. While the cathedral was first built in the 11th century, a huge fire in the 16th century damaged many of its original pieces of art and religious iconography. One of the most famous pieces to survive the fire was the pulpit designed by the world-famous sculptor and architect Giovanni Pisano. You won't want to wheel your suitcase through this stunning cathedral, so stop by a Pisa Airport luggage storage service first.
