Or why not head to Pisa to visit the infamous 'Leaning Tower'. The Leaning Tower of Pisa attracts travellers from all over the world, and in addition to the tower, the city offers many other interesting things to see. When you first arrive at the beautiful Square of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli), it's impossible not to be captivated by the magnificent tower. Don’t just admire it from below - the climb up the tower is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and you'll experience incredible views from the top. Along the perimeter of the square, there is also the Cemetery, the Cathedral Museum and the Museum of the Synopses.
