Christmas in Pisa

Description

Program

Day 1:
Arrive independently in the early afternoon and settle into your hotel. You will have the entire day at your disposal to enjoy the warmth and joy emanating from Christmas right away.

It will be Vittorio Emanuele II Square that will host the traditional ice skating rink, decorated with special decorations and illuminations, flanked by the charming wooden huts of the Christmas Market, where you will be able to buy handicrafts and gift items. Immortalize your stay under the illuminated sign "2024" and under the huge shooting star in the nearby station square.

The city streets will be all lit up, here and there you can admire numerous light installations that, with the decorations present, will create a truly unique atmosphere.
In the evening you will be treated to dinner at a restaurant, which will offer, in addition to the common dishes of Pisan cuisine, those of the Christmas tradition. Followed by an overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 2:
After breakfast, our guide will take you to discover the city, particularly the jewel that sets it apart in the world: the Piazza dei Miracoli.

So defined by Gabriele D'Annunzio for its beauty, the four monuments that adorn it, such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, the Camposanto Monumentale and the iconic Campanile more commonly called the "Leaning Tower," certainly need no introduction.

You will then continue to Piazza dei Cavalieri, which is home to the Palazzo della Carovana, formerly the Palazzo degli Anziani now housing the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore, the Palazzo dell'Orologio and the majestic Church of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri.

Your guide will leave you for lunchtime, which you can enjoy at leisure in one of the city's restaurants.
In the afternoon we recommend that you really dive into what Christmas in Pisa is all about.

Admire all the installations in Pisa, from the large gift parcel in Largo Ciro Menotti, through the luminous figures recreating an ice effect in Piazza Dante, to the Ponte di Mezzo where two light curtains will be installed connecting the two sides of the city.
But it doesn't end there...every weekend Santa Claus and his faithful elves, direct from Rovaniemi in Lapland, will be at the Logge dei Banchi waiting for you to take your Christmas letters and make them come true.

This will be the perfect opportunity to fully experience Pisa and all its attractions. Squares, churches and murals will be even more beautiful!
In the evening, dinner at a restaurant awaits you, followed by an overnight stay.

Day 3:
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. You can leave your luggage at the hotel storage room for a few more hours so you can enjoy the city's Christmas atmosphere one last time, and then return to your homes.
