Video: Getting from Pisa Train Station to the Leaning Tower in a Hurry
Pisa is actually a wonderful Tuscan city. Problem is, folks want to hop off the train and run to the Leaning Tower. Never in history have so many wanted to visit an architectural embarrassment so badly.
So be it. You can do it. Tie up those running shoes. Here's how. Here's what ya see. (Click the triangle in the lower left to start the video)

Staying in Pisa
Really, you should stay and see Pisa properly. One or two nights in a hotel should do it. Although, you might want to stay for a week or more and to feel like a Pisan. Yes, there is a lively daily market in one of those little squares you wish you had in your home town. I recommend Behind the Tower.
A self-cating stay in this part of Tuscany is pretty compelling--and popular. HomeAway offers over 6000 vacation rental properties in Tuscany, including over 500 Pisa Rentals. Get a party together and rent a villa, or rent a cottage for two...or a Pisa apartment.
Otherwise, you can search for a user-rated Pisa hotel by using the box on the right. To find hotels in other places, you can just type the name of the city/town in the "Destination" box and go.

It's a bit of a walk, but not that difficult to get to the leaning tower of Pisa from the Pisa Train Station.
