Traveler reviews

  • Charles Harris

    ★★★★★3 years ago

    One of the nicest but least known places in Pisa. A historic square with nice bars and restaurants frequented by young people, old people and families with kids. Not to be missed!

  • Julian Martinelli

    ★★★★★3 years ago

    Beautiful square. Also home to the little leaning tower. Definitely worth a visit
