Located
in western Tuscany and beginning life as a seaside settlement around
3,000 years ago, Pisa is full of history and culture, with many monuments
and buildings retaining an authentic medieval architecture.
Renowned throughout the world for its famous Leaning Tower, Pisa has
so much more to offer than just this striking landmark. The north-west
of Pisa plays host to an immense green lawn on which four impressive
buildings stand: the breathtaking Duomo Cathedral (almost 1000 years
old), the cathedral’s bell tower (better known as the Leaning
Tower of Pisa), the circular Battistero (the largest Baptistery of
its kind in Italy), and the Camposanto (also known as the Holy Field
and one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world). |

Pisa
is also famed for its historic city centre where palaces and mansions
still line the streets, many dating back to the 16th century. So why
not hire a car and explore the Piazza Garibaldi or the elegant Borgo
Stretto with their interesting shops and cafés? Or perhaps enjoy
some of the many tourist attractions in the neighbouring cities of Florence
and Lucca?

Bognor
Birdman Festival
20-21st August
Bognor Regis |
 |
|
|
|
| Is it
a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s another wally jumping off the
pier in a funny costume!!! To cut a long story short, slightly mad
people from from all over the world descend on Bognor Regis to answer
the age old question… “just how far can you fly?”
But don’t laugh! If you can fly more than 100 metres from Bognor
Pier there’s £25,000 in it for you. Want the number for
the nearest fancy dress shop? |
