Lungarno Pacinotti
Seen from the Ponte di Mezzo
Pisa, September 2020
“Pisa, as well as Florence, is crossed by the Arno river. Pisan lungarnos, adorned with wonderful buildings and bridges survived the bombing during the second world war, are the most picturesque and famous places in Pisa, and among the most romantic for sure! The lungarnos host many hotels and residences, because of their central location they represent the ideal choice for tourists visiting the city. We propose you a walk through these amazing streets, where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the river and all that around it. We strongly recommend, according to the season, to try one of the delicious ice cream parlors on lungarnos or to taste a pastry sitting in the well known bakeries in Pisa. If you'd like to know better the past and the present of Pisa, the visit to lungarnos is essential. Lungarnos are the streets of the city that pass beside the river Arno. They are well known in Pisa for wonderful buildings that go along with the river bank until they reach the river outlet in Marina di Pisa. Few centuries ago lungarnos were the heart of the city center, and that's why wealthy families had chosen this area for their residences. They were completely reconstructed in 1871, which sadly destroyed many stairs and flights of steps that were characteristic of this area.” (Lungarnos of Pisa, About Pisa)
