Pisa can be said to be a city on a student-scale. The 50.000 students enrolled at the University, forming a significant proportion of Pisa's 90.000 inhabitants, are a particularly visible presence in the streets of the city-centre, with its numerous world famous monuments such as the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli.

It is right here, in the heart of Pisa, that the structures of the University's 11 Faculties and 56 Departments are concentrated. There is little distance to cover; hence, the most common means of transport is without doubt the bicycle.

Pisa has a stimulating cultural and social life, enlivened by the activities of many cultural and political associations of various orientations, which provide many opportunities for exchange, learning and friendship.

Pisa has an excellent geographical position for getting to know central Italy, being situated an hour by train from Florence (Florence Airport), half an hour from Lucca and Leghorn and 30 minutes by bus from the coast. The Migliarino San Rossore Nature Reserve is close by; and little further, the Apuan Alps offer mountain enthusiasts the possibility of long walks and spectacular views.

Pisa has a typically Mediterranean climate and the sea's vicinity has the beneficial effects of ensuring mild winters and not too torrid summers.

For international students: Florence Airport provides flights to Copenhagen, Zürich, Glasgow and other cities in Europe. Flights to London and other major European cities are offered daily from Milan Internaional Aiport which is a two hour drive from Pisa.
