Discover Pisa and the Camposanto Monumentale during your stay at Hotel Lukas

If you choose to stay at Hotel Lukas in Viareggio, you’ll be in the perfect location to enjoy not only the seaside, but also some of the most beautiful art cities in Tuscany. Among them, Pisa is definitely a destination I always recommend to my guests.

Just 30 minutes from Viareggio, Pisa is much more than its iconic Leaning Tower: it’s a city rich in history, art, and surprising places—such as the fascinating Camposanto Monumentale.

Why I recommend visiting Pisa

When my guests ask what to see nearby, Pisa is one of the first destinations I suggest. It’s close, easy to reach, and perfect for a half-day trip.

The heart of the city is Piazza dei Miracoli, a unique place in the world where you can admire:

the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Pisa Cathedral

the Pisa Baptistery

the Camposanto Monumentale

It’s one of those places that always amazes—even for first-time visitors.

The Camposanto Monumentale: a place that will surprise you

Among all the wonders of Pisa, the Camposanto Monumentale is the one I truly recommend you don’t miss. It’s less crowded than the Tower, yet incredibly fascinating.

Every time I step inside, I’m struck by its atmosphere:

a large, elegant, and peaceful cloister that invites you to slow down and take it all in.

According to tradition, the site contains soil brought from Golgotha, a detail that makes this place even more special.

What you’ll see during your visit

If you decide to visit, you’ll find:

Stunning medieval frescoes, such as the “Triumph of Death”

Ancient Roman sarcophagi

Tombs of important figures from Pisa’s history

Traces of more recent history, including World War II damage

It’s a visit I especially recommend for those who love discovering authentic places full of meaning.
