Shopping in Pisa
Therefore, in this tourist guide could not lack a chapter dedicated to shopping.
The perimeter of the town and the streets that lead to Piazza dei Miracoli are dotted with souvenir stalls, that thrive among the palaces and the villas of Pisa . There, you will find myriads of reproductions - in any size and on any objects - of the most famous Leaning Tower in the world as well as posters and puzzles, cushions and aprons with the main Pisan monuments. In short, a real open-air supermarket.
We suggest this first stop to all those tourists who are looking for souvenirs for their relatives and/or friends and who do not want spend too much!
Things change as you walk from Piazza del campo towards the Arno. In Borgo Stretto, in the district of Tramontana, north of the river, you will find plenty of bookstores, jewellers` and clothes shops. On the other bank of the Arno, in the district of Mezzogiorno, behind Piazza XX Settembre, begins Corso Italia, where you will find many clothes and gift shops.
Situated opposite one another, these two areas of the town - which make the second part of our shopping walk - are among the most luxurious spots in Pisa.
Our last tip is dedicated to gluttons.
Before your stay in Pisa comes to an end - or even before you go back to your apartment or villa in the town of the Leaning Tower at night - you should visit the Cioccolateria De Bondt, where you will find any kind of pralines and slabs of chocolate!
