Take a picture with the famous Leaning Tower
The “Piazza dei Miracoli” represents an important point of reference of European medieval art, and is one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. Considered sacred by the Catholic Church, the square is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistry, the Leaning Tower, and the Monumental Cemetery. With its large grassy lawns divided by paved walks, the Piazza dei Miracoli is also the site of the New Hospital of the Holy Spirit, which houses the Sinopia Museum and the Cathedral Museum.
Exotic species, botanical institute decorated with the "Grotesque" style, in ceramical shells.
Romanic church, wooden cross icons.
Gothic church along the river.
In the past the square was a velodrome, beautiful middle age church.
The idea of the mural in Pisa was born during a meeting between a young student from Pisa and the artist on the streets of New York. There are 30 figures that occupy 180 square meters of the south wall of the church of Saint Anthony.

The bike tour is very well suited to get brief insights into the city. Famous and lesser-known sights are covered, and you get to know the facets of the city along the way. The booked time is also more than enough to linger at the sights and take photos in peace. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the bike tour and that it gave you the opportunity to discover both the famous landmarks and some of the lesser-known corners of Pisa. It’s great to know that the route and timing allowed you to explore at a relaxed pace and take plenty of photos along the way. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another cycling adventure soon! 🚲😊
We had to install two apps on the cell phones, one for the route and the other for the audio descriptions, the routes and stopping points did not match.
Gracias por tu comentario. Lamentamos las molestias con las dos aplicaciones y las rutas. Tomamos nota para mejorar la experiencia y hacerlo todo más sencillo en el futuro.
We rented two bikes with smile and ride. It was a very good experience and a good thing that we did because we were able to travel a greater distance than if we were walking because Pisa Central was very hot. The folks at smiling and ride were helpful and easy to work with.
Dear Linda, thank you for your kind words and for choosing Smile & Ride during your visit to Pisa! We’re glad to hear that the bikes helped you explore more comfortably despite the summer heat. It’s always our goal to make the rental process easy and enjoyable, so we’re happy you had a good experience with our team. We hope to welcome you back soon for another ride, maybe discovering even more of Pisa and beyond! Best regards, The Smile & Ride Team 🚲😊
Take your son on a self-guided tour, run long distances, and measure the world on your feet the other day. He was in Pisa early this morning and his son was a little tired. After departure, there was a rental bike on the right, electric manual, the clerk was friendly, no deposit, a driver's license or passport, children's helmet free, 4 hours 14 euros, 16 euros a day, the car was light, we like wings, galloping through the streets of Pisa. The staff recommended izitravel to us, there are recommended route navigation, and the attraction voice introduction, free feet, praise! Recommended.

I hired a carbon road bike from Smile & Ride in Pisa for 6 days in July. The bike was in excellent condition, well maintained and worked perfectly throughout my 300 mile trip around Tuscany. Elena and Mario were both professional, most helpful and kind, they even set my bike up with a slightly lower gearing rear cassette as requested prior to my arrival. Many thanks for helping to make my trip around Tuscany so enjoyable and successful, your efforts are very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Smile & Ride!
