Tuscany in a long weekend - tower, riverside and proper Italian food, for two and under £130 each.
Can you do Pisa in a weekend from Manchester?
Yes - a direct 2h 25m flight gets you there, two days is enough for the essentials, and the whole weekend comes to about £128 per person for two sharing.
There is far more to Pisa than its famously wonky tower. Compact, walkable and wrapped around the river Arno, it is made for a Friday-to-Sunday escape: fly out Friday night, spend Saturday wandering medieval streets and Renaissance squares, eat where Pisans actually eat, and still have Sunday morning for a coffee and a last riverside stroll before the flight home.
