Piazza dei Cavalieri

AttractionPisa & LuccaAbout 25 minutes

Pisa's other square, five minutes from the tower and almost empty by comparison — Vasari's sgraffito facades and the university that Galileo attended. The reminder that Pisa is a working city with a life beyond one lawn. Ten minutes, on the walk between the tower and the river.
