It was a most enjoyable way to arrive in Pisa.  A pleasant walk from the railway station via the embankment of the River Arno, the same river which flows through Florence.  As with just about any Tuscan city, you will stumble upon a number of interesting and probably historically significant buildings.  My particular favourite, the tiny chapel of Santa Maria del Spina, perched right on the edge of the river.

As with other university cities, a certain level of political graffiti; unlike other university cities, exhibiting a total lack of subtlety or ideological insight...or humour.
