Pisa

3 things to see

Pisa’s Leaning Tower and cathedral complex are free to photograph from the lawn of the Piazza dei Miracoli, and you only pay if you climb the tower or step inside the buildings. Beyond that tourist core, this is a real university town, so the back streets, riverside Arno walks, and student bars keep prices low. It sits a short, cheap train ride from Florence, and the walled town of Lucca is even closer, making Pisa an easy budget base for northern Tuscany.
