Pisa Aglow with 70,000 Candles

For a truly magical and illuminating night, head over to Pisa for the evening. In June, the San Ranieri festival is held, in honour of the patron saint of Pisa. Over 70,000 candles are lit throughout the town, with beautiful sights such as the Leaning Tower and the Arno River being illuminated. The event starts at dusk, but we recommend you get there early, so you can find the best viewing spot. Ponte di Mezzo by the river is a particularly good vantage point.
