We arrived in Pisa on Monday night around 9pm, we got a hotel and hit the city. Pisa is not worth the journey unless you go up the Leaning Tower. That night we walked around and couldn't find anything to do, the sights were ok, and the tower was cool at night, but other then that nothing. We did eat a great meal at Antica Tralloria il Campano and then basically went to sleep. The next day we walked to the Piazza del Duomo and was pretty amazed by the Belle Tower. We went up the Tower for 15 euros and it was well worth it. When you first get in the tower it feels as if you are drunk. The stairs are more up then more down since the tower is in fact leaning. The second set brings you up to the Bells and this stairwell is smaller then the first. The view from the bell level is great and you can look through the center of the tower. One more level is the smallest stairwell and obviously the windiest, once again the next level is even better the one before. The top is a great vantage point for photos,
