Hi @InaS ,

Offcourse leaning tower of Pisa, itself is reason to visit but apart from that I like the church which is very beautiful and offcourse the best place for Gelateria, The city is beautiful and I like the architecture. Its worth to visit if you are going to Lucca.

Thank you for your prompt reply @AkhilGarg91. Did you go to the seaside? How can you reach Lucca from Pisa?

Hi @InaS 

I went to Viareggio for seaside and its the time for Carnival as well ( one of the best in Italy). You can go by train.

I went there with my friend with his car. But there are lot of trains.

I've never been to Pisa, but it's definitely on my to-do list. 

Italians have one of the best Ice creams in the world, do you agree?

Thank you for this post @AkhilGarg91 , 

Did you have the chance to count "The devil's fingers", on the left side of the cathedral?

The legend says the devil was kicked out from the baptistery and left his fingerprint on one side of the cathedral. If you try to count them once, you will never get the same number the second time. 

The University that you have mentioned is called Scuola Normale Superiore, and only selected students are admitted to study there.

Hi @Sorbe ,

I didn't try that  I wasn't aware but the entrance door of the cathedral there is a small lizard that traditionally brings good luck to anyone who touches it, why is rubbed by many visitors and many students for the exams go well.
