Leaning Tower of Pisa

On the final approach into PSA, look down for a perfect view of the Square of Miracles and the tower.

This side is essential for the 'money shot' of Pisa's historic center. Ensure your window is clean for the descent, as the aircraft often turns over the sea to align with the runway, giving you a panoramic view of the Tuscan coast and the city landmarks.
