Pisa City Guide and Walking Tour!
That was so anticlimactic I hate myself right now sounds like the airplanes are rocket that was way way way too much sugar welcome to Pisa ā Land where Theme Park meets lean Park and you
Get the chance to go on one ride and one ride only I feel like I need to keep my arms like this because I might Pictures not included I mean this commitment is just wow and squash the birthday cake today we accidentally fall for a common misconception about a visit to Pisa absolutely
Fascinating that it can be done in just one day cheers as we realize that there is a lot more to do than meets the eye and this city is more than just its 800-year-old Leaning Tower this
Is actually a bit disorientating donāt forget to get the gelato hold on to your seats as we guide you on a fun factual City walking tour through its medieval Center discovering what makes Pisa such a fascinating place weāre Matteo and Micha weāre currently traveling to all 20
Regions of Italy on the ultimate Italian road trip subscribe to follow the adventure cheers darling cheers all right it is 9:30 a.m. we are climbing a hill on the way to the train station to get the 9:42 train to Pisa luckily the train ride is only 30 minutes from here and normally Matteo
And I arenāt up walking around this early but it is gorgeous weāre on top of the walls again here in Lucca thereās already people out for their morning walks morning jogs bike rides
Do you think weāll make it to the train oh yeah easy itās like I think what does it say itās 5 minute walk over yeah so we got to take the stairs down and then the train stations over
There oh perfect got a nice view of the walls are these stairs yes they are stairs this is what we have to take oh wow this is like a this is quite cool we never been down here before now weāre at
The base of the Lucca walls look at those walls even though itās 9:30 for some reason in Italy it feels like youāre up at 6:00 a.m. because itās so peaceful and quiet I feel like it really the city doesnāt really come alive no matter where youāre at until roughly about 11:00 but itās
Very chill very calm I love it and weāre excited for our day in pizza oh wow we got here quick we have a pretty brisk walking pace though is this our train oh please yes our Trainās here train that way oh no I hate sitting backwards I get motion sickness I should
Have picked another two seats I wasnāt thinking about it so now that weāve on the train matās going to check in our ticket and validated good to go we are now arriving final destination of this journey we advise you to be careful while getting on the
Train just a helpful tip for future traveling whenever you sit down on a train airplane bus make sure you check the seat once youāve got up because youāll be surprised how many people leave stuff sitting on the seat
Here thereās also a Pisa mover shuttle that takes you to the airport so if youāre at Pisa Centrale you can just take that straight to the airport so we just made it to pentr it is about 10:15 one
Thing to keep in mind with Pisa and also with Florence and a lot of other Italian train stations is that there is more than just one stop for some of these cities so for Pisa I think thereās about four stops Pisa Centrale is just one of them so just cuz you hear Pisa
Make sure that itās the right Pisa stop or the right Florence stop Palermo has like 10 so thatās just something to keep in mind also my hair is like in a world of its own today
So I apologize if I look like I just came out of a tumble dryer these curls girls with curly hair you know what Iām talking about some days youāre like it looks great other days youāre
Like you know you just got to let it do its thing because I donāt know I donāt know whatās going on today Matteoās travel tip of the morning I need a pee cuz I drank so much water this morning but
In the station the toilets are ā¬1 save your1 go to a cafe buy a coffee use their bathroom be a lot easier a lot of Cheaper two birds one Euro thereās also a bus terminal right outside here King Victoria Manu thei in 1861 after the unification of Italy King
Victorio manuale thei was the first king of a unified Italy and so thatās why thereās a statue behind us as Italy only lost its monarchy in 1946 after World War II and just like our boy just SE gab Baldi you will find streets patas statues all dedicated to him as
Well so right now weāre on Coro Italia which is one of the main shopping streets here so youāll find the more like modern stuff like zoraa an saora and thereās a bunch of cafes beautiful architecture well thatās new you donāt see too many Victoria Secrets here you got a giant OBS
But our first stop first order of the day huge is going to be a little breakfast so weāre going to Galileo Cafe thereās a couple things we want to try so thatās how we are kicking off the
Day it is a very cute Street my man behind me Nicola Pisano you hear his name throughout Tuscany a lot heās often referred to as one of the fathers of Italian sculpture a lot of the buildings and palaces and squares you see around here were actually designed by
Him that looks uncomfortable oh goodness man that manās literally in the cage trying to clean the window this is one of the first times in Italy that Iāve ever seen this funny blue thing it actually looks
Like a bicycle repair station the tools are all on pieces of wire but the only problem with this is that all the tools have been stolen so Iām guessing no way thereās still one what are you going to do no thereās like a little baby wrench and pliers and is that Iāve never
Seen that neither have I thatās actually very creative so we made it to our Cafe here letās see oo see thatās so funny I didnāt know what the other one was itās pistachio oh my this is like the prettiest one weāve ever
Gotten f oh we can sit over there so Matteoās a lucky duck because this is the first time weāve ever come across a pistachio CR Cafe normally itās just the standard one itās October so theyāre about to stop serving these at cafes because itās a summer
Thing but thankfully itās still warm enough that we were able to get one but this is the fanciest and cutest one Iāve ever had normally they just dispense it into the cup but here they actually
Put like a chocolate sauce in the cup and then they put chocolate sauce on top of it for both of ours the most similar thing I can compare it to texture wise is like a McFlurry or like a milkshake type thing but this is coffee and chocolate Iāve been waiting all week for
This that is divine every time I have one of these itās like the first time Iāve ever had it this is so delicious that chocolate sauce really kicks sit up a notch excellent touch I know itās only like 10:30 in the morning right now but who cares weāre
Going to be on a sugar high today M that is delicious Iām excited for matato to try this pistachio one because itās a first for us all right oh wait itās really fluffy why is it so
Fluffy what is it itās like a super light and fluffy ice cream itās like a gelato but like a breakfast one but like a it is itās like a itās like a little bit thicker than a milkshake but not thick but fluffy it tastes like chocolate and pistachio have you been following along
This adventure you know that I love everything pistachio except for that one time I had that one that was a bit too intensely pistachio down in Sicily aragona might have had something to do with the fact that you ate about 25 pistachio desserts back to back to back but could I mean I
Could be wrong so is the pistachio flavor strong in this one is it good oh itās delicious almost maybe you wouldnāt do it with the chocolate chocolate almost dels the pistachio a little bit just pistachio itās delicious itās lot this is the first time Iāve come across something so
Fluffy here thatās in between all the things that we eat and drink it is delicious so I like pistachio but not nearly to the degree that Mato does but I always like to try these things it literally tastes like they just cream down the nut and made it like an ice cream
Milkshake it leaves the aftertaste as if youāve just eaten a handful of pistachios so if youāre a pistachio lover I can definitely see why you would go for this I can definitely tell why Mato likes
It but two scoops is good for me Iām definitely way more on like the normal coffee Chocolate Train so itās interesting though let give this coffee you want a try no the the coffee oneās better the coffee oneās better and itās stronger it actually tastes like a coffee the pistachio oneās more of
A gelat this is more of a coffee coffee y get the coffee one get the coffee one but you can get a smaller size in this Michelle just said get the large ones so you can get like half size this
Maybe get like a little bit of pistachio little bit of coffee give them a taste on yourself so Crema de Cafe was actually invented in Naples by women who didnāt want to forego their afternoon
Cup of coffee on the hot summer days so they came up with the idea to put their coffee with sweetened thick thick whipped cream and just like mix it on up so that you can still get your coffee
Kick in a nice cold beautiful way and thatās why they only have it in the summer because itās meant for hot weather so you wonāt if youāre here in the winter I actually think the cut off is probably
October Iām surprised we found it today but best invention ever in atand these little really crappy cetes that you come across in every Gia and bakery in all little cafes theyāre not actually for
Wiping your hands they so that you can hold your pastry and not do it to your hands which kind of makes sense but itās also quite annoying just sometimes you just miss a good old napkin you
Know this napkin is not going to help M just bit into it and the choc like just popped out the top I mean that does look oh so creamy Matteoās Italian travel tip of the day actually travels up in general always keep a thing of wet napkins in your
Bag for situations such as this okay well thatās that does look good though oh itās going donāt get it on your pants thatās aggressive at least you know itās full yeah jeez squirting out the side itās good
Though going everywhere Iām not winning at least I didnāt skill okay here we go thereās so much chocolate thatās too much chocolate for me and thatās saying lunch itās okay just be on a sugar high today as I said napkin doesnāt do anything and here we are this video is not sponsored by
Kleenex thereās no classy way to eat this just just enjoy it just just enjoy it that was too much chocolate even for me itās very common here that you hear of the ketto Classico which is just
Plain thereās nothing in it cuz itās Times Like These when you realize that you wish you just got a plain one cuz sometimes thereās too much chocolate and sometimes theyāre too skimpy on the chocolate this time wasnāt one of those times itās like a roulette while Mato went to
Wash all the chocolate off his hands Iām busy eating my croissant and it is full with cream itās still really warm and it is just delicious the cream croissant are my favorite total came
Out to 790 where two next Iām not going to lie Iām not feeling too great that was way way way too much sugar I feel a bit like I feel I feel responsible for this I should have gotten us the
Smalls not the largest of the cafe and I do the same thing every time every time I have every 5050 the chocolate croissant has way too much chocolate in and I keep ordering it like a clown the next time I need to go empty but on that note we recognize the balls behind
Us the medi Crest cuz the medii actually took over the city no I donāt believe it during the Renaissance never heard of them itās like their principal port that they had back in 1500s and for a second it feels like weāre in Florence it is same river
As Florence the honor running right through the middle of the city it just me does that building look crooked the brown one I was like the Leaning Tower I guess leaning is a common and here we are coming up on the Blue Palace this is Palazo blue the Blue
Palace itās famous because itās blue itās literally the only blue building that youāll find around here and itās also home to numerous modern art exhibitions the sunās coming out tomorrow weāre out and about your bottom dollars back tomorrow okay Annie
Where are we going next weāre going to go to the KN Square itās in the daytime not to the cake itās a gorgeous day unlike our island of Sicily Tuscany wasnāt invaded as many times and so thereās not actually
As intense of a difference as there is City to city in Sicily one sideās Arab one sideās Norman one sideās Lombard Greek thatās all different here it was the whole like region of Tuscany was kind of ruled by the truskin the Romans Medi and then France from my understanding from from Napoleon
But I think thatās about it they donāt have the whole invasions as itās not an island in the Mediterranean itās further up less strategic as it was for trading ports such as Ms was so yeah everything starts to look a little bit similar itās a little bit similar every city definitely
Has its own Vibe but thereās less of a stark contrast from City to city as there was in Sicily I mean from one day to the next one city to the next and S like youāre in a completely different
World so but itās nice still beautiful if you had watched our Luca video you would notice our exact same statue in the exact same Piaza with the same name oh Iāll take uh gerbaldi for 500 Steve
Exactly nice just the remanda one of the men that is responsible for the unification of Italy in the 1860s so the street that weāre on right now is called Borgo stretto and itās a m shopping
Street here in the city so this is like the bougie shopping street you got stores like Rolex you got bigger designer shops not just the Zara and H&M that we list ended Rolex um we shop at Zara in
H&M thereās gorgeous architecture on this street as well I mean weāve just come across another beautiful church here Mishu howās your education going what architectural style is this church in Iāll take uh Romanesque for 600 Steve oh you got 50% pean Romanesque for 600 Steve nice good job
Weāre learning whatās up thatās what that looks like this street definitely feels a little more ancient than Coro Italia so even though theyāre both like main shopping streets they have totally different Vibes who is this man Galileo Galilee a Florentine man who actually helped modernās
Pizza during its flourishing golden age from my understanding he actually helped to keep the Leaning Tower straight or he dropped a ball or something off the top to try and figure out at what angle it was kind of sitting but he had something vital to do with the city he dropped
Two balls off of it at different masses and they both hit the ground something physics my parents my parents my dadās a physics teacher momās a cal teacher straight over my head but Galileo dropped two balls of different masses off the Leaning Tower they both fell he said physics the end Still
Still we weāll cover the history for you I cannot cover scientific a massage of stuff okay and we continue Prada see oh thereās another okay so you got Prada on this street similar to Zara but not mat just spent like a minute explaining this to me instead of Wi-Fi itās a wiie Hotpot
Cuz of pza that is clever so if you need Wi-Fi come get Wii that took me a minute and we have arrived at Patza de cavali itās quite a mouthful if youāre learning Italian as well cuz
Itās a lot of little eyes a lot of little e but also translated to n Square there are six roads that actually intersect in this Piaza the night square is full of marvelous Renaissance buildings by far one of the most impressive buildings is the Palo de Cavalieri which was built in 1560 by
Georgio vasari the same man who built our sari Corridor above the Pono in Florence the square has a long and storied history it was originally the political Center of medieval Pisa and served as the headquarters of the order of the kns of St Steven which was a Catholic military
Order established to defend against piracy in the Mediterranean one of the most prominent features of the Piaza is the monument to Kimo de Medi the a statue honoring the Grand Duke of Tuscany and as we say all the time the medi are spread throughout Tuscany so youāre likely to
Stumble across them very often historians donāt entirely understand what Kimo the first got up to inside his batau but from my understanding itās kind of like the Frat Bros like how they created like their little fraternity of kns and they obviously fought against piracy in the
Mediterranean but there was a whole bunch of other stuff that went on behind the scenes a good five six centuries ago Pisa was actually one of the most flourishing Maritime cities however starting from the 1500s the silting of the Anor river that runs through the center started to create a land
Mass heading towards the ocean and so once when Pisa was actually on the coast is now 10 km or 6 mi from the sea what was once the flourishing Maritime Port is now actually a University City
Full of students and so Pisa does have a younger population as the University of Pisa is one of the most prestigious universities youāll find in Italy from my understanding the patoo is now actually part of the Universityās buildings whatās pretty crazy is when youāre in the open areas here
In Pisa it sounds like the airplane are literally right on your doorstep and thatās actually because pza City Center is one of the closest city centers to an airport the Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually only 3 km from the Pisa airport and so it sounds like the airplanes are right
Here I love how green this city is every time we come across like a little Piaza or Square thereās just these giant beautiful trees it really like looks like a little Oasis in the middle of the city I love it I like that one cuz it looks like a Christmas tree so many
Airplanes so itās October 10th today and it is currently 75Ā° F or what is in Celsius 22 22Ā° CS so itās still very warm Iām actually hot just in my little jean jacket and itās almost 1: p.m. baking in this time oh we can see the top of the tower from here should
We stop into our Pam local before we continue on the journey got to hydrate oh this is like a convenience store oh oh my goodness is it really only a80 for this bottle itās so cute and little I think we might have to get one of those okay weāre getting two of
These for later okay we take that back this Pam is actually way bigger than we thought oh my God we walked in here I was like oh itās just like a convenience store like a a mini a mini Mar but
This is actually huge this is the first time Iāve noticed this I donāt know if theyāve had them in other places but the uh chickpea Pizza that we had in Luca they actually sell them here Frozen
So you can actually buy it and take it home all right thereās no sh mission complete there it is oh my goodness we made it yeah this this Pia is full of a lot more people eh wow it
Is packed oh thereās like a sea of people back there because the majority of the stuff that we actually book is not so in advance weāre going to buy our tickets here in the pat of Miracles
Iām pretty sure we can buy it from the ticket office a com ation ticket so that we can climb the tower go inside the B stre the cemetery and from my understanding the museum so weāre going
To go check out the ticket prices now you have to come here behind the tower outside the museum to the right behind the tower so weāre going to go see what we have there now however it
Does not feel like 22Ā° I feel like weāre in a full summerās day here in Italy people are out here literally yeah take this jacket off yeah maybe we will wait an hour or two before climbing the tower unless it gets hotter then be screwed from this angle you can seriously see the
Tilt we might have messed up a little I see the line for the tower is coming out the Tower bar quite away maybe you are supposed to book online in advance usually usually we do just rock up for
Everything itās worked so far is it not like we always Rock up and thereās just things but I mean we have time so weāre going to go check what the ticket offer says itās not behind this part of
The tower itās behind the other part of the tower but thatās a problem with having something thatās round where is the behind so youāll see a ticket sign weāre just taking a lap now weāve taking a
Nice little walking tour oh same girl same weāve made it to the ticket office tower this would be the back of it we think that this is the amount of spots left to climb the tower at each of those
Times it seems to be in 15-minute increments okay weāre going to have to pick wisely what time should we do it 4 was that too late 3:45 bastry is closed yes okay that stre Clos for
Renovation we literally just missed it okay thank you so much thank you so we went for the complete combined ticket for ā¬ 27 per person without the tower itās only ā¬1 but obviously we wanted to
Climb the tower all right but the B is closed until the 1st of December this is not the first time weāve come across something thatās closed donāt expect the combo ticket to be less cuz
It wonāt they wonāt reduce it but right now we do have a book time for the tower at 345 the man did say that these tickets are actually valid for a whole year so even if you came back next year you
Could still come and see the bsty once it opens again few things to note that he set at the desk not allowed to have backpacks or bags whilst you climb the tower so thereās a work room to the side
That you have to check your bags in and you have to wait in line 10 minutes before your allotted time slot so in Italian time Iād probably come 20 minutes before it did make me feel slightly
Better when he said that the baptistry is actually more beautiful from the outside than it is on the inside so Iām like you know what Iāll take it Iāll take that one so at least we get to see
Its beauty from the outside it is a stunning day now letās hit the square of Miracle your 27 gives you access to the Monumental Cemetery the cathedral which is actually free to enter the bapistry which is closed climbing the tower and what was the last thing you have access to
The dwo museum the dwo palace which is so closed ital man restoration and some other Museum this reminds me of when we were in Sicily especially on the steps of the cathedral in Noto if itās
The same artist which Iām assuming it is because it looks pretty much identical to his work itās a Polish artist there was also the fall of Icarus and agento that was very similar to this I love
It itās stunning letās go see if Mishu is right if itās her artist or not seems like a different material thatās letās go check the sculpture is there a sign yes same guy eag I was right
Ah steel trap I was right it is the same artist this is called fallen angel I mean itās just too unique of a style I mean even on the back with that little head he puts like mini sculptures
In the artwork itself absolutely stunning if you saw our Noto video or our agento video like those were also just incredible I mean when you look at it itās honestly just absolutely breathtaking so I love that thereās one here that was very unexpected so thatās the line for the tower Cas
Guest itās not Mobility friendly there are steps there is no elevator to the top of the tower 251 steps but thatāll be in 2 hours right now weāre going to start at the dwo Museum mostly because
Itās very hot right now we need to just cool off thereās also a restaurant SL Cafe at the top with a pretty cool view from what we saw online donāt forget to HR so the cafe weāre going to should be
Right there I love seeing how creative people are getting with their pictures there is literally a sea of people trying to get their photos with the tower I mean weāve got standers sitters kickers squatters I mean these people are committed I love it to get the shot okay stick your hand
Up all right you got it you almost got it no youāre going too hard I hate myself right now hand up hand up and squash the birthday cake nice letās go I need a coffee look at you itās so hot
Iām trying to sweat I didnāt think Iād swe oob here we go letās go feel ashamed to be honest Iām actually really stressed I like donāt know Iāve been thinking this whole time what I wanted
To do and how I wanted to pose and Iāve still come up with nothing original so weāre going up to the cafeteria howās that view okay perfect nice wow now thatās a view so theyāve got a little menu here seems like a pretty stacked menu theyāve got some
First courses some this is one of the most expensive cafes Iāve ever been to an espresso is $350 we all must make sacrifices all right so why donāt you skip all the sweets just go straight on to the cocktails here about 8 to9 the espresso is 350 cappuccino is four I would
Probably just do a cappuccino or a cocktail beer or cocktails Iāll let you decide in the comments below itād be too late we would have we would have chosen already but I must say sometimes itās worth
Paying a little extra for a view like this so we have a lovely view of the tower we never really sit down for cocktails but today we just something was calling us to Hugo Spritz if you
Donāt like appol Spritz go for the Hugo I donāt like appol Spritz as much as Iāve tried but the Hugo is much sweeter itās made with St Germain so itās a sweeter Spritz it came with a few
Snacks so we have these like these are pretty standard um Italian appar ofo snacks so this is like kind of like a little salted cracker and pretty similar to like La chips so you get those when you order your drink the number one chip in Italy itās just lightly salted Iām with Michelle
On this one the Hugo Spritz is a lot sweeter not sweeter nicer than the appal Spritz is n bucks though Iāve had more expensive cocktails though America gets the cake for that one but
9 bucks is a bit itās steep but in America you it doesnāt come with snacks and you have to tip 20% in the state no tip here plus snacks plus of you canāt beat it Hugo SPS is definitely better than fresh all right weāre all done they left our little order receipt here
On the table so weāre going to go pay here you go I know seems kind of counter productive pay for a ticket skip the thing that you get with the ticket go to the thing thatās free see the thing thatās free from the outside cuz itās closed and
Then climb the tower thatās the only way that we could have got access to the tower you see what they do they always add you either get everything minus the Tower or everything and the tower but
Thereās just a huge price difference between the two so itās like what does one do you do the tower one commits oh hello wow that was aggressive I think that man wanted to be in the video okay Iām just going to just it got hot the marble used in the baptistry the cathedral
And the tower all come from a quarry a little bit north from here called Kara and well as you can tell itās very white and so when the sun comes down reflects off there and itās extra
Bright behind me and the most noticeable thing you will find in Pisa besides the tower is the dwore of Pisa construction of the Pisa Cathedral began in 1064 and continued over several Centuries with additions and alterations made by various Architects and artists when it was built it was
The largest Roman Catholic cathedral in the world the cathedral was consecrated in 1118 but its construction was ongoing for several centuries leading to a fusion of architectural Styles over time it is a prime example of pean Romanesque architecture characterized by its blend
Of Romanesque and Byzantine elements the facade features intricate marble decoration including columns archers and sculptures showcasing the skill of medieval Italian Craftsman the interior is designed in a Latin cross layout and has beautiful frescos oh my goodness look
At that ceiling the cathedral entrance is free however you have to go to the ticket office to get a free ticket to get your free entrance not entirely sensical but maybe it stops hordes of people coming in at once oh okay so you can get a audio tour for ā¬2 so thereās headsets
Here and they offered in a bunch of different languages it seems oh yeah you canāt walk around with them I mean theyāre attached but you could just stand here and listen while you get the uh information thereās a lot of banging in here I think they are busy restoring something so itās
Definitely the least peaceful Church weāve been in the ceiling in here is just spectacular you got to love that the medich crest is literally in the center of it though new opinion it is very hard to appreciate a place of worship when there is a whole bunch of noise going on I mean
It doesnāt really feel like a church any here right now it just feels like a theater thatās got a lot of sounds and just building no itās kind of sad actually it is sad but if you ever
Saw our R Video those churches had themes to them and had music playing they had to play with now that was thatās how churches should be this banging itās a little bit but beautiful nonetheless but restoration okay so they seem to be restoring this part of the cathedral
Which is why thereās so much banging so someās going on over there that theyāre fixing up the most important thing inside the cathedral this Pulpit by Giovani Pisano some of the first works of modern sculpture he actually started using depth inside this pulpit and
This kind of set forward like the future of sculpture and this was a good good 700 years ago W it is bright that is a stunning Cathedral and the ceiling in there is phenomenal unfortunate that theyāre doing a little bit of restoration because all you hear is the banging echoing
Throughout to church but hopefully on your visit that will be done and you can get it in some peace and quiet but it is absolutely breathtaking inside I just heard a man saying that he went to go get a free ticket for the cathedral and they were all finished of them
So apparently thatās a thing if they run out of tickets you have to pay ā¬7 to enter the cathedral which is quite excessive to be honest especially in half of itās under restoration and thereās all the noise and cuz itās free most of the time but just be aware of that behind
Me and actually taller than the leaning Tower you will find the baptistry of St John with a diameter of 33 M and a height of about 54 M this place of worship is the largest bapistry in the world dedicated to St John the Baptist construction of the bapistry began in the 12th
Century and continued over several centuries resulting in a blend of architectural Styles primarily Romanesque and Gothic the bapistry was originally built for baptisms itās renowned for its impressive Acoustics which make it a popular venue for musical performances right climbing into the cloak room to drop off the
Backpack everything you need yeah Char M so they gave us our little marker we are 31 R pretty sure he said 21 so this is going to be quite interesting when we get back I also heard 21 so hopefully we getting something Des maybe theyāll be some gold bricks in that Locker
Charlie in the Chocolate Factory it is 3:30 Iām quite a I got my momās jeans Iām quite a nerd I got to be at places at the right time and check in my things early Iām not wanting
To run last minutes so we we we good weāre okay for now so we got 15 minutes it said in there 15 minutes before you should drop off your stuff so there is still a ton of people out so the line
Is here right on the back side of the church I see weāre not the only people that are waiting here early the rest is standing to the side as they get to the front so weāll see okay you got
A little checklist here give your ticket if your time is next you have no bag with you ta thinks heās the modern day Michelangelo photography what are we doing oh panoramic panoramic panoramic donāt stop did you get it it looks like a stubby Tower I canāt see anything
Stubby tow she looks pretty cool I mean you can just tell from here that that is not straight as I said in our climbing the dwore video what clowns would climb an 800 year old building well
Now weāre about to climb an 800 year old tower that leans over so these clowns these CL nose on us and H us for a birthday party okay we ready yeah bucket listing neither one of us neither one
Of us has ever climbed the tower here we are 54 year old itās quite a lot it it goes from 10 27 per person just if you want to climb the tower the first steps down to take the first steps up
Oh it is skew oh my goodness oh you already feel like youāre going sideways thatās crazy oh my God what C I can feel myself like falling back I was I took two steps back and all of a sudden I felt
Like I was sliding backwards you can literally you can literally feel that this is on an angle that is crazy I was like why am I falling n and so like when you walk this way it actually feels like itās really not that impressive from the inside just empty empty oh
Thatās wild so we entered and they made us wait in this like little room for the group before us to come back down the stairs before we go back up whoa for a second there Iām actually getting like a little bit of motion sickness at this
Angle itās hard to see but theyāre actually slanted theyāre worn in the middle and theyāre worn down so like right in the middle of the step you can feel thereās a dent from all the people
That have walked up here T quite weird on your senses so strange I feel like Iām like tipping over oh thereās like a Lookout Point here whoa jeez this is actually a bit disorientating want not even funny oh wow itās 251 steps to the top so roughly about half of the Flor you
Can actually see this is the walls actually angled this is seriously like a trip for your SES I feel like I just want to lean back I canāt even walk straze I think weāre almost there goodness oh wow weāre going
Downhill oh my goodness okay we did get up here faster than I thought we would but that was a trip for the senses you see the church they do have these cages similar to The Towers in Florence itās actually only like ey height do we go further up yeah oh okay
I guess weāre not at the top level yet yes that makes sense because there are Bells at the top okay so weāre on the first level now the top level is do top there we go cheering each other on oh this is cool now weāre now weāre getting to the flow of
Things with this spiral staircase again I always duck cuz I feel like Iām smack my why do we trust this oh my goodness Iām so sorry these are so narrow okay all righty that first that first one fooled us we thought we made it to the top this is the
Top somehow gives me an an easy feeling yeah I know like I still feel off B well also knowing that thereās just this thin layer of concrete below us until the bottom and also itās Hollow and leaning but cool nonetheless so you can still see the church from from here behind the bells
Did that feel hard to you do that feel pretty manageable yeah itās kind of like the towers in Luca not Florence Florence was doubl this that last staircase felt very similar to The Duo though oh and so when youāre at the bottom you see straight up to here where you
Start straight down itās an incredible view letās go this way so thereās the middle section with the Bells but you can actually come and sit on these steps here are we on the smaller side or the taller side right now thatās the question smaller you
Think I do feel a bit of an incline here does feel like weāre slanting you think itās worth it yeah itās worth it but it really makes you appreciate how tall the Florence DW went Bell
Tower are cuz they literally double this so like this is impressive but the fact that it can double thatās wild still get a gorgeous view of the city though and then the inside partās just there the Bells so this is a full 360Ā° view of up
Here now you can feel that youāre going uphill when youāre walking thatās the Pisa Stadium right there thatās us at the top right there you can also see the ancient pza walls running around the city from up here and you can see people walking on
The walls like the walkway above the walls itās about 3 km long or almost 2 miles so hopefully weāll be doing that after our activities today I donāt know if you can tell on video you can definitely tell in person that thatās like angled down your other Telltale sign is the
Bow like can you see the bow sitting at an angle itās not straight and look itās actually damaged with the marble where it must have been blown into it oh thatās so interesting youāre right yeah thatās crazy itās damaged on this side but the Marbleās fine on that side unless
They just restored it no cuz look the other bows also look look the Gap there look at that bow itās sitting in an angle you can see that that Bell there is also slanted ready to go down I go yeah thatās thatās
Stairwell okay you got to be careful now because you have people are coming up youāre going down so you just got to be patient be polite itās a tight squeeze on the stairwell so going weāre going weāre going this very coming down coming down corner corner is not what they say at
Restaurants Corner tilting corner now these stairs are really really warm my emotion is king oh Iām so sorry see this is where it gets tricky Iām just going to hug the wall here oh yeah TI squeeze youāre good one this is a bit better still angled though still angled I feel like I
Need to keep my arms out like this because I might fall either which way okay we got this we got this we got this you do get some pretty views from here too so if you did need to stop and take a break okay and weāre and weāre moving and
Weāre grooving and weāre grooving we got so much to do still and itās already 4:00 these stairs are extremely not ankle friendly the groove in the middle makes you very I feel like every time I step Iām leaning more on my right foot down you do climb and go down
Very fast though so you if you can could do it really fast if you had limited time so bizarre now we get a point where I actually feel like Iām being like pushed down stairs these days angled downwards and this material is like very slippery so Iām almost wored myās going to slip
Almost like a tumble dryer we made it wow that was crazy not going to lie I feel a little discombobulated yeah that kind of throws you off a little bit I literally feel like Iām going to tip over that was cool though nice I almost forgot we had
To pick up our backpack arm I donāt know why I climbed it with my jacket on just donāt forget to get your bag cuz Iām pretty sure thereās limited numbers every time they do it so I
Donāt know what happens to your bag if you forget it then also if you do want to go into the church or the baptistry when itās open you need to bring something to cover your shoulders
So a Shaw a jacket something like that donāt forget it well in any City but just also for this one pizza could be done in half a day but if you want to do all of this stuff half a day
Is not enough agreed a full day weāre currently walking alongside the Campos Santo Monumental Cemetery we are running out of time though Iām pretty sure most of these places close at like 6 6:30 but also unfortunately canāt go in the B Street we might be giving the museum a skip
Today we would rather prioritize walking on top of the walls itās crazy because when we got here I was like oh my God we have the whole day and then all of a sudden now like and weāve just
Been enjoying ourselves and now I feel like oh wow we are weāre out of time so give yourself enough time if you want to do everything you actually do need a full full day here definitely this is the
Entrance they seem to be restoring the frosos here on the wall if youāve watched any of our other Italy videos youāll know that every city you go to something is being restored at some time but at least they do take the time and get the money into restoring them
So thatās why itās kind of a bummer when they are but you canāt be mad because in the future itāll still be there for you and your future generations to look at this is some Hogwarts Vibes if you take a look behind me youāll notice a lot of frescos actually quite destroyed theyāre
Currently in the process of restoring them as many as they can but this is actually because of the bombings in World War II so a lot of the frescos were lost but theyāre trying to bring some back which is just quite wonderful the Fresco do depict stories from the Old and New
Testament and the floor here is just covered in like tomb after tomb itās hard to know where to step because I hate like walking on peopleās tombs but thereās just itās literally the entire
Floor and let me tell you a quick little fact ooh I love facts built in the 13th century as a burial ground for the cityās most prominent citizens according to tradition the inner Courtyard is built around a shipload of sacred soil brought straight from Jerusalem and happens to be taken
From the exact spot where Jesus was crucified during the Third Crusade the soil was brought to heer by the Archbishop and thatās how Campos Santo the holy field was named it is renowned for its striking Gothic architecture characterized by its arches intricate detailing and its beautiful
Marble facade I was not expecting this to be honest with you and now thereās a room lawn mow itās funny I like it that must be itās like little charging dog thatās so funny look at it Go desperate times call for desperate me one disadvantage ofing on a
Phone there are a lot of saints Rel quaries in here learn that term at the Florence Doro Museum I think they have parts of the people inside of like gold and silver and and like like those things we got fibon
Here okay Matteo has come now to take a closer look at the Roomba lawn mower called an auto mower okay should I get you one for Christmas Even though we donāt have a lawn absolutely fascinating I canāt get over this you go get Coco you go I canāt anyway this is Holy soil
Okay and we are done we need to vote who do we thinkās committed the most I think if youāre standing on one of those things youāre kind of looking for an accident yeah that doesnāt seem
Safe oh yeah see they theyāre a couple I think I think I saw them earlier they theyāve theyāre really just committed to this uh photo shoot here so the leading Tower actually took 199 years to build was first built in the first two levels and then because the soil was so soft it
Actually began to lean and then there were Wars happening and they didnāt have money to actually pay it so then after the time the Wars ended the ground had actually got harder because the sea had been retreating and the soil had just become Harden so then they built the next section then
From my understanding there was another War less money so this thing eventually took 200 years to get built but it did get built thank you it still leans and had to do a massive renovation in the
ā90s so that it could be corrected a little bit it used to be about 4 and 1/ 12Ā° I think theyāve moved it to four or something which is a safer angle fter clown and there we have it folks
That was your walking tour of the one street and PE it Iām just kidding this entire Piaza is a UNESCO world heritage site Mato and I seem to be on a liquid diet today because Iāve yet
To put any real food in my stomach and itās 5:00 p.m. again you can take bottles out of a six-pack it is allowed all right if you donāt have time to eat which you should make time to eat these
Liquid proteins should have hold you over for a little bit but Iām still starving letās go the walls are closing soon letās go letās go letās go how did the day get away from us now weāre going
To go see how much the walls are I mean they Clos in 45 minutes so they took exp it we just going to give it a Miss weāll see how it goes feel like Iām youāre walking me like a puppy because Iām
Attached to by the way if you guys heard of our buy us a camera for Christmas please this is how we are filming now we connected to a charger we need to buy some we need to get a camera that
We can change our batteries been using an iPhone for the last 3 years we havenāt yet had the funds to upgrade but one day weāll get there one day one day hopefully itās not too many more days
Weāll see weāre at 9 and 1 half kilm for the day which is shocking because I feel like weāve just done a loop in this same area wait I thought it was around the corner I think itās at that
Tower I think itās the tower over there not bad I may misjudged this so the entrance if you want to walk on the wall walls is right next to compos Santo just Google muraa mura is a wall m u r
A and here we are but letās just see what the price and situation is right now itās October see the hours change per season what so 5 year exactly 5 year okay last entrance 5:30 but it
Closes at 6 you want to go quick letās just go up quick okay close at 6:00 so we donāt have time to okay just go up and down yeah yes we have half an hour actually we have 35 minutes
35 minutes itās very dark in here thereās quite a few stairs here the walls are actually 11 M out or 36 ft for those in the metric system wait Imperial syst imperial system oh my goodness whoa
Thatās pretty cool that is cool okay this was worth it we got 30 minutes to enjoy it yeah says 250 M that way we can get a view of the Piaza the next exit is 800 M that way I donāt think we have
Time to make it all the way there so weāre just going to hang out chair for a bit Iām so happy we did this oh wo there is a full cemetery here between the walls that was unexpected
Oh I like this much better than the view from the tower this is way less obstructed the walls are 800 years old and run about 3 km around Pisa just under 2 mi and the fact that theyāre in such good condition is because Pisa was never actually attacked
And so these walls never had to get used and so they literally just run around the inside of the city that look really cool just like what you would see like the movies you know back good 800 years ago Middle Ages I like history like that onwards we
Go personal opinion the city is actually perfect from this heart I do prefer it to the top of the tower definitely pay ā¬5 each for the walls and come take a walk up here you got 3 km you can walk around the whole Old City not
To mention thereās only like three staircases versus 251 steps for the tower it looks like in front of us you canāt actually carry on so I think you have to walk all the way around if youād like to see the 3 km yeah this seems to
Have brought us to the end of the wall here now that is a view I prefer that this makes me happy see Iām so happy we decided to go for it got an excellent view from this very
Small Corner as I said this is honestly the perfect heart to see the city I donāt know you can just appreciate it a little bit more from here all right now itās time to go this was my favorite thing that weāve done today why are you singing I donāt know so out
We goita made it 2 minutes to spare all in all when people say that pizza is a one day visit pretty sure you can visit in one day donāt do half a day I think itās too little but thereās
A cool City I mean if you wanted to go into stuff it needs a full day if you just wanted to come peek around and maybe grab a snack or a lunch or something then a half a day but if
You actually want to go in and and see things and walk on the walls then yeah I definitely recommend a full day as well I mean I feel like we thought we were like oh we have time
And somehow we just like itās like 600 p.m. now and weāre like wait what yeah it doesnāt have the amount that like a city such as Florence has but but thereās still a lot it takes time it
Takes time it looks small but itās like packed itās the time to pop a little bubbly sadly itās too early for dinner so we just going to have a little bit of A180 prco I mean this1 80 for
This bottle joing I mean itās got the doc really label on it so Iām feeling like that was actually a pretty sweet deal but itās been in my backpack all day so shaking up and warm we going to open it up very cautiously happy birthday to me 7 months thereās no cork love
It itās efficient all right happy birthday for next year my 30 first weāre a few months away but yeah got a feel this thing going to pop off oh I can hear it fizzing let me just out that
Fizz that was that was so anticlimactic that was really how warm is it itās all right itās not terrible it is extra dry though see is dinner yeah there we go so the problem that we are having presently is is that
We wanted to try this restaurant called bronzo but like most Italian restaurants theyāre only open from like 12: to 3: or 2:30 and then they close and they only open again around 7 or 7:30 and thatās like pretty standard in the country and this is why we can go a whole filming day
Without eating itās 6 p.m. and I would happily sit down and have dinner but we still have an hour and a half to go if we want to eat there yeah and the Sun is setting unfortunately we
Missed lunchtime and I think weāre going to have to just figure out something something else now so weāre going to walk and see what we can find we have too many Pros so hopefully by the time
We finished those maybe weāll be hanging around late enough to actually said too many but then I thought but then you said too many many too many Pros there we go I havenāt tried it yet letās
See definitely tastes like itās worth more than a80 so thatās good heads up if youāre prone to mosquito bites do not stand on the grass for more than like a second cuz I was fine all day
And now weāve been standing on the grass for a few minutes and Iāve just gotten like a million bites in a couple minutes thereās so many instructions flying I think people are misunderstanding the person theyāre with cuz theyāre hearing different instructions from different people but you want to
See the Bas one hold it up hold it up oh no cheers darling cheers pink this is the most aggressive photot taking spot Iāve ever come across like this is like this is like clownville 10 one like
Seriously whatās the first thing you said when you came and arrived in this exact Square reminds you of Disneyland kind of like Disneyland kind of like an amusement park except with one ride like the rest of the city doesnāt really feel really touristic and we donāt really mind touristic stuff
Because that just means itās popular but this this square is like the square is next level yeah not the most fun place to say so but you should come and see it anyway take your photo be cheesy who
Cares exactly donāt let anybody tell you what you canāt do itās almost 700 p.m. we found a deal for two pieces for ā¬1 so I think thatās the next uh plan of attack here so weāre very hungry I
I might be falling apart only slightly because all Iāve had today is sugar and coffee and a baby foro this to happen on filming days we like forget to eat so our energy tends to flag toward the
End of the day yeah since you see wheel so weāre going to sit down at a restaurant but like 18 16 15 for a plate of like pasta or whichever two meals one ends up being 4050 plus thereās the
Coperta most of the time which is the cover so you donāt tip here but when you see copera thatās like the cover per person that kind of it is like your preset tip or for the water and bread which adds
A Euro or two or three per personās of tab weāre just not at that stage yet where we can sit out at a restaurant and eat so weāre going to find out this thing said it was pizza day two margaritas
For 10 bucks so which sounds like our kind of deal Iām straight so thatās bu just traveling around there and we just the mission after that we just be finding a place to sit because uh
There doesnāt seem to be any benches in the main Piaza here normally we like to eat in the main Piaza of a city so weāre going to have to sort that out once we get our takeaways we shall see
Itās a gorgeous evening tonight whereās our spot itās here so weāre just down the street from the cathedral but we saw a sign here which definitely caught our attention I love this too this is also how theyāre like air conditioning come inside I feel like we thrifting here whatās
It okay no a pizza so weāre going to get our takeaway pizzas but they donāt have boxes yet so weāre not getting no takeway pizzas but itās still Pizza day two margaritas for five bucks 10 bucks 10 bucks five bucks each nothing too
Exciting tonight just some margaritas and a beer and he said no no cover charge I am starving so this is perfect five bucks huge Pizza oo thatās hot success day it feels damn good to be adventuring again after a while but itās definitely going to take some
Time to get used to us walking around so much again if you guys have visited Italy you know how much you can walk in a day definitely comment below and let us know what is the furtherest youāve ever walked in an Italian city in a day cuz our feet are really struggling again
Itās going to take a couple cities to get used to just that excessive walking cheers Iām always happy with the margarita we both are hey more flavor than less flavor letās eat oh that looks crispy this place has really good reviews and I can see why itās a delicious
Margarita pizza thatās good cheese cheers in case you guys were wondering where your 5eo pizza donations go to yeah they are right yeah we werenāt joking when we said buy us a pizza gets us a 5 Pizza this is a 5 Pizza by the way the link is in the comment section and

Ring to it but uh we need to go to the station to get our train but we just wanted to see the tower lit up at night if itās if itās lit up we donāt know weāre about to round the corner
And see if we have time weāre going to squeeze in some gelato but it is a half an hour walk to the station the gelat is about 10 minutes from here so we might be cutting it fun the moment
Of little end on I thought itād be like so we thought it would be maybe a little bit more lit up with spotlights itās about 8:00 p.m. right now normally like with the dwo and stuff in Florence thereās way more lights to really see the buildings you can still see them thereās
Still some street lights going on very pretty but just not as like inyour face as I thought it would be I really want to try this Gela so we need to like pick up the pace before we get
