About Pisa

I think the best time when you should go there is spring, because the weather is very good, but is't not too hot, so it's great.

Piazza dei Miracoli is really well worth visiting, it's one on the most important places in the world: there you can see the leaning tower, the baptistery, the "Campo Santo" and the Duomo Church.

Make sure you go shopping in Corso Italia, the main street, full of beautiful shops.

Another nice thing is to go for a walk along the "Arno" river, the main river in Tuscany.

If you have a time, don't miss the ice cream parlours in the Lungarno, the ice cream is well wort trying! If you love reading, don't miss the parks, especially the Giardino Scotto,  where you can relax, read and watch the world go by.

Lucca Comics and Games

Do you want to visit Lucca?
There are big city walls! And you can walk on them.
You really should go there in late October - early November, for the "Lucca comics, movies and games" festival!
And if you like comics and video games, don't miss the multimedia area, with a lot of TVs and statues of your favorite heroes.
Finally for the "Lucca comics" a lot of people come there from all over Italy with cosplays.
Cosplays are handmade costumes which represent manga, or movie characters, like Katniss of Hunger Games, Harry Potter, or the protagonists of some games, like Altair, Ezio Auditore, from Assassin's Creed.
And why not? There are also some vampires, werewolves, and various monsters.
I think it's so amazing, if you see it once, you wish to get back there next year!!
If you have time, after the festival you should visit the city centre, with its narrow medieval streets, into the walls of course.
There are a lot of shops, and characteristic churches and squares.
The most famous square is the "Amphitheatre square".
