Should I be leaning towards a peak summer visit to Pisa?
Simon Calder answers your questions on Italy, hotel buffets and passport headaches
Q I am thinking of going to Pisa at the beginning of August. Is this wise?
Barbara C
A Pisa is a joy. The Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), presided over by a bell tower at a five-degree tilt, comprises one of the world’s greatest religious complexes. Subtract for a moment the Leaning Tower, and what remains with a fine, walled city strewn with Renaissance monuments, exquisite churches and impressive museums. As with any Italian city, you are spoilt for choice of delicious places to eat and drink.
