Hen weekend in Pisa- recommendations?

Hi,
I have organised a hen weekend (17-20 March) to Pisa and would like to hear some of your suggestions. There are a real mixture of people (15 altogether) and we would like to have things to do, see, etc. I would be grateful for your suggestions.
Thanks

  • Hi, It's ages since I've been there, so apart from the normal sightseeing, I can't really help on that score. However, I would recommend that you stick together and make sure that no-one gets left on their own. The men had some funny ideas about unchaperoned females. I was even flashed at when I was with a couple of friends and someone tried to get it our rooms at night. Please...be careful.
    Paulina.

    Yes, I have but only to do the tourist thing - which is GREAT

    Have you looked on www.tripadvisor.com and the Pisa forums there ? Maybe someone can help you out with the info you need there.

  • We caught the train from Pisa to Florence which was really easy and a lot of fun.

    You'll have a great time whatever you do!

    Save money.
    Instead of paying to go up the famous Leaning Tower just drink a couple of bottles of wine and go up a straight tower. The effect will be the same ;)
    Can I help?
  • Get on the train to Florence - more beautiful, livelier and the hotels are a lot cheaper.

    Book Hotel Caravaggio through venere.com - excellent value for money.

    Stay the last night in Pisa and see the tower etc then - not much more there.
  • I wouldn't stay in Pisa if I were you, Florence is much, much nicer, there's so much more to see and do. It's only a short train ride and it's easy to get there from the airport.
