Pisa gay bar

Tuscany has plenty of gay life, especially as a summer gay getaway in Italy, when LGBT Italians from cities in pisa regions come to visit. My Tuscany gay travels are specifically memorable because I met one of my closest friends here. I made a trip to a gay club in the town of Torre del Lago and ended up instantly connecting with a guy who is now one of my closest friends.

Local Italians in Tuscany however tend to keep a low profile, as there is certainly a segment of the population that is more conservative. He mentioned that conservative Italians specifically inhabit Lucca, and so it is less common to express affection in public here, as compared to Pisa and Torre del Lago.

There definitely is, especially when the tourist season peaks. His opinion does support the fact that LGBT individuals may keep a bar profile. Overall, I never encountered any issues being gay in any Gay town. I stayed in a vacation rental near the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There were many cheap places to eat and grab a coffee nearby.

Consider a hotel near Piazza dei Cavalieri if your budget allows. Hotels south of here toward the river are great too. This is the best part of Pisa, where streets bustle with people and restaurants. Tourists flood the northern bit of the city, closer to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. My local friend Nicola adores Bagni di Pisa.

I also stayed one night at Hotel Paola while visiting Lucca. From here it was easy to head back to Pisa. Definitely walk through the Pisa city center and spend an evening in a trattoria!

Take in the outdoors and the clanging of restaurant dishes as the sun sets. There are many small shops in Pisa as well, especially in the main streets which cross the river. Strolling over Ponte di Mezzo at sunset is quite romantic! It might be hard to compete with the mouth-watering pizza of Naplesthough!

Comparing the flavors and thickness with pizza made in other parts of the world is always interesting. Also, you absolutely must have the traditional Aperol Spritz before your lunch or dinner. A fundamental example for geotechnical engineers, the tower is truly beautiful in person.

The Piazza del Duomo green space surrounding the nearby buildings is ideal for taking in some sun. This area is a beautiful, wide-open square with interesting architecture. Some of the friendliest service I have ever encountered in my entire life, I felt like a true Italian ordering my morning cappuccino!
