# One day in Pisa: a walking route > A day in Pisa means the Field of Miracles and the old centre. In the morning, climb the Leaning Tower on a timed ticket, then visit the cathedral and the round baptistery with its echo, all a couple of minutes apart on one lawn. After lunch, walk through the centre to Piazza dei Cavalieri and along the Arno, and in the evening see the square lit up and nearly empty. It's all on foot, 25 minutes from the station to the tower.

From Pisa Centrale it's 25 minutes on foot through the centre and over the Arno, or 10 by the LAM Rossa bus; from Florence it's handier to get off at Pisa San Rossore, 10 minutes from the tower. Start with the tower: climbs are timed with few places, so book an early slot ahead and leave bags in the cloakroom by the ticket office. Afterwards, step into the cathedral, then the baptistery, where a custodian sings every half hour and the echo lingers under the dome for several seconds. The monuments are a couple of minutes apart across the lawn. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update. ## Where to eat The cafés and stalls by the square charge tourist prices, so walk 10 to 15 minutes into the centre for lunch: around the market on Piazza delle Vettovaglie and under the arcades of Borgo Stretto you'll find trattorias serving Tuscan food. Try cecina, a thin chickpea flatbread, ribollita soup and pasta with game ragù. In the evening, have an aperitivo on the Arno riverside, with its colourful houses and sunset over the water. ## If you have time left Walk to Piazza dei Cavalieri with the painted Palazzo della Carovana, then along the Arno to the tiny church of Santa Maria della Spina. On a second day, try Lucca and a walk on its city walls (30 minutes by train) or the Cinque Terre coast (about an hour to La Spezia). ## Tips - Book a morning tower climb. - No bags on the tower: use the cloakroom by the ticket office. - Eat in the centre, not by the square. - Churches require covered shoulders and knees, and large backpacks are often refused. - Italy uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere; carry a little cash for cafés and markets. Buy museum tickets ahead on official sites, where closing days are listed too. ## Questions ### What can you see in Pisa in one day?
