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.

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.

The Video Equipment

The video camera used on these Italian travel videos is a Sony HDR-TG1 Hi-Def Handicam that slips into a pocket and has decent 5 channel audio. See my Sony Handycam HDR-TG1 Camcorder Review on Europe Travel.

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 for editing, as it natively edits the AVCHD video format. The recently released Adobe Premiere Elements 7 does AVCHD as well, but was released too late for me to try on this trip. The Adobe software should be easier to use.
