I have been to Pisa twice. One exciting item you forgot to mention was the "Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina," on Lungarno Gambacorti, which is on the bank of the river Arno. A church literally on the footpath; you can't miss it. So strange.
Ciao sono nato a Pisa e grazie per aver fatto vedere anche altre zone della città, non solo la famosa torre 😊🎉 un altra cosa importante è che ci sono anche altre 2 torri pendenti a Pisa, di cui una pende più della famosa torre.
How are you finding it compared to Bologna? Is the weather better at this time of year compared to Bologna? What about a price comparison? Are there any shopping malls? Or farmers markets?Thanks for the video 😊
The weather is definitely better here so far, it’s warmer and way less humid! Can’t really say much about prices in Pisa, but in Florence it really depends on the area, touristy areas are slightly more expensive than in Bologna - I’m actually planning a detailed cost of living video next week, so stay tuned! And there are both farmers markets and shopping malls, in Florence as well as in Pisa (I haven’t been to shopping malls in the latter, but it’s quite a big city for Italy, so I’m sure there are!)
Prices for rent are much lower currently (with 350-400 euros, you can find a single room, while in Bologna it would be around 500-600 euros). There are two small shopping malls, and near the city, there’s a larger shopping mall, but you’ll need a car to get there (or a train, but the Navacchio station, located in a small town in the Pisa urban area, is quite far from the shopping mall). The downsides are that Pisa is smaller than Bologna (around 100,000 inhabitants) and offers fewer activities. However, it has an international airport (the largest in Tuscany), making it a great base for visiting many European destinations during the weekend. Galileo Galilei Airport is one of the main hubs for Ryanair in Italy. Pisa is also well-connected, with a good train station offering lines to Florence, Rome, and Genoa, as well as direct trains to Milan, Turin, and Naples
Pisa had been one of the marine republics but it is pretty far from sea now! People should wonder why and they would realize that it has been a wound inflicted by Genoa that lasted more than 400 years.
Moving to Italy in March and Pisa is one of the cities I plan to check out. Thanks for posting the video!
Thank you! Pisa is lovely and I’ve met many people who live there or used to live there and loved it. It’s a very vibrant place 💛

Saving it for the next time :)
Oh, you've been to Hokusai's exposition! Awesome. 👌
It was fabulous indeed 😍

Excelente video, te pregunto, una pareja puede vivir en Piza con 3300 dls mensuales?
If we're talking about USD, yes, you can!

I plan to go back around summer and explore this topic more in depth!!
