Cascina

Cascina is a small town not fra from Pisa. The town centre has recently been renovated; the main street is very nice to walk along: have a drink in one of the nice bars or try the traditonal rice biscuits or sfoglie (kind of pastry) in one of the good pastry shops of the town.
Visit the S.Maria Cathedral, located in a delightful square, the medieval oratory of S. Giovcanni at the end of the main road and do not miss the other roman churches in the country.
Not far from Cascina visit Calci, a nice old town in the country with a beautiful Certosa, Vicopisano, a nice medieval village, and S. Miniato, a medieval town at the top of a hill with landscapes on Arno valley and countryside.
If you love opera, in July and August the "Puccini Festival" is held in Torre del Lago (30 minutes driving); concerts and operas also in Pisa, Lucca, Volterra and in the countryside.
There are many walks among the hills with beautiful landscapes, picturesque villages, view over the country up to the sea and the isles. There is a cycle lane along the river Arno.
Tennis courts and swimming pools are available in the area.
As for the sea, Tirrenia is 20 minutes by car. There is a 15-km beach with a superb view of the isles of Thscany and the Alpi Auane (marble mountains).
What about food? If you come in Autumn or Winter, don't miss the famous S. Miniato's white truffles. In November an important food festival is held there, which features plenty of delicious dishes with truffles.
Don't miss the traditonal "sagre", small outdoor festivals which are held in many villages over the countryside, each offering food and wine inspired by a particular theme or ingredient, depending on the typical produce of the place.
You can also find excellent chocolate from local producers.

Pisa

Pisa is wellknown for its leaning tower and the amazing Piazza dei Miracoli, which don't need any further description.

Don't miss Piazza dei Cavalieri, the S. Matteo National Museum, S. Maria della Spina, S. Pierino, S. Caterina.
Not far from Pisa visit the beautiful roman basica in S. Piero a Grado .
In June a festival is held in Pisa, called "Giugno Pisano" with music, traditonal games, exhibitions.
On June 16th at night "Luminaria di S. Ranieri": thousands of candles adorn all the buildings along the river Arno and reflect their shapes on the water; unforgettable!
Are you fond of Italian food? There are lots of cosy restaurants in the city centre, in the country, and on the coast, where it is not easy to choose between the traditional or innovative offerings! As for drinks, you'll have no shortage of local options, with a wide range of high quality red and white wines.
