Is Pisa worth the trip?
I only have 2 days in Florence. Is it worth spending 1/2 day in Pisa? I'm guessing there is more than enough to keep me occupied and interested in Florence, but have heard that Pisa is so wonderful.
Thanks.
Thanks.

When I read the title of this post I was ready to give my "Yes!" answer... but with 2 days in Florence, probably not.
With respect to Pisa, it's a LOT more than a leaning tower. When you do visit, WALK from the train station to the Field of Miracles. You will experience a charming, absolutely not touristy town (until you get to the Tower). Open your eyes and notice doorways, windows, tiny balconies, a beautiful river running through the town, students everywhere, bicycles lining the street, propped on their pedals against the curb.
