Discover Pisa and all the wonderful highlights with the Hop on Hop off Bus!

Two routes - one ticket! The City Sightseeing Bus Tour of Pisa will help you to discover the City, situated just a few kilometres away from the Tirreno Sea and San Rossore Natural Park. The tour starts from the bell tower and makes its way through the city and its numerous squares, suburbs, museums and the Lungarni. Visit the beautiful Piazza del Duomo which is home to the famous leaning tower, the Tower of Pisa, which was begun in 1173 and which stands at 180 feet high. It leans more than 14 feet out of line due to its faulty foundation on unstable soil. Take a 30 minute tour of the tower, climb the 300 steps and enjoy a fantastic view from the top. Visit the beautiful baptistery and the cathedral while you’re in the vicinity. These pristine, white buildings make an excellent backdrop on attractive green lawns.
