If you are in Pisa, a visit to Corso Italia is a must. This is where you’ll find the most interesting shops, great coffee, everyday city life, and one of the most unconventional cultural spaces in town — AORTA. It’s the perfect street to start exploring Pisa beyond the Leaning Tower. Corso Italia is Pisa’s main pedestrian street and one of the liveliest areas of the city. Daily life unfolds here: walks, meetings, shopping, coffee breaks, and routes leading to the main attractions. Corso Italia connects Pisa Centrale railway station with the Arno River and the historic center. It’s a convenient starting point for discovering the city and a route that lets you easily feel Pisa’s authentic rhythm.

Along the street you’ll find:

• Italian and international brand stores
• small local boutiques and concept stores
• cafés and bars with good coffee and authentic snacks

It’s a pleasant place not only for shopping, but also for strolling and watching city life. One of the most interesting spots on Corso Italia is AORTA Social Art Gallery — a contemporary social art gallery where art meets technology and work with human perception. This unconventional cultural space is very different from traditional museums and has become an important point on Pisa’s cultural map. Address: Corso Italia, 146
