Traveler reviews
Argie Karl Mayrong
★★★★★3 years agoOne of the most instagram-worthy places here in Pisa. Truly breathtaking most especially during the sunset as you see the golden ray of sunshine hits the colors of the buildings along the riverside. What makes this place special is that you can go to the platform on the riverside and have a relaxing moment through reading a book, listening to music, eating sandwich or pizza with friends, have a drink while looking at the sunset or while watching the sunset. I spent lots of my times during my stay here in Pisa and I am sure this will be the spot that I'll miss the most when it'll be the time to leave.

★★★★★5 months agoThe Lungarni di Pisa refer to the scenic streets running along the banks of the Arno River, offering a stunning and functional perspective of the city's noble history. This area is widely considered the most atmospheric spot in Pisa for photography, especially during the "golden hour" when the sunset reflects off the water and the pastel-colored facades of the historic palazzi.
