Pisa is one of the most visited cities in Italy, famous for it's Leaning Tower and for it's location in the region of Tuscany (famous for it's hill-villages and cuisine). Aside from the Leaning Tower of Pisa there are a selection of other sights well worth visiting whilst you are in the vicinity - Duomo di Pisa and the Baptistry, for instance, are architectural sights to behold, whilst Florence, Lucca and Cinque Terre are all reachable by car. Many visitors to Tuscany fly directly into Pisa as it is home to the region's busy international airport, Pisa Galileo Galilei. A huge number of airlines fly into Galileo Galilei Airport including several from the United Kingdom: British Airways, Ryan Air, Thomson Fly, Easy Jet and Jet2.com among them. The airport itself has two levels, with the departure lounge on the second floor and the arrivals on the first.
