Situated in the Tuscany region of Italy, Pisa has much more to offer tourists than its world famous tower. In 2007, the population here was 87,000, which is nearly the same as it has been since the Middle Ages. Some people may see this as a city that hasn't grown, but the truth is that its medieval feel is simply well preserved. A quick trip from your accommodation can take you to any of a number of historical monuments, palaces, churches, fine plazas, and bridges that span the Arno River.

Of course, you can't book a hotel in Pisa and not visit the renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa. For a fee, you can climb the nearly 300 steps to the top and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding areas. There is an endless number of hotels to choose from.
