This narrow street connects the river Arno and the piazza Garibaldi with the rest of the northern part of the city. I went back to Pisa for a day after 4 years and I enjoyed walking under the arches again.

Walked through it to get to the train station from the Pisa Duomo Complex. This is a very picturesque street with lots of bars, cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants in the area. We had a late lunch in a restaurant in this area and the food was not only delicious, but very easy on the wallet. It is a lively area with all the tourists visiting the Duomo pouring in after their visit, so depending on what time you pass through, it might be very busy. We were there around 3:00 PM and had no problem getting a table.

Crossing Ponte di Mezzo, the city of Pisa presents Borgo Stretto and its slow walk between the really narrow space, the period arcades and the 14th and 15th century buildings overlooked by many small shops and a thousand refreshment points. Borgo Stretto is one of the almost obligatory stops in order to get to Piazza dei Miracoli. Very well maintained and cared for. A must visit!

Lovely street between the station / river and tourist attractions. Restaurants, shops, churches and statues on the street and lots of shady places for when the sun is too hot. Worth a look.

This main street runs through the centre of old Pisa and is easy to find form the railway station by heading straight ahead! It has colonnades that house grand cafes and modern shops, restaurants and entrances to no doubt grand apartments. This is the place where people shop and relax. Big brand names have colonised the central stretch. It is virtually car free so easy to stroll down.

We somehow missed this street when we were heading from the station to the tower - I’m blaming it on us having our heads down cos it was raining heavily! Thankfully we found it on the way back. It’s a lovely street, full of hustle and bustle and nice shops and places to eat. A nice place to stroll especially when the rain stops!!

This street is in the center of Pisa. It is narrow and it's sidewalks are under arches. The most famous bakery of Pisa is here along with other nice shops and a couple of bars. On the corner of one of the arches near the bar Settimelli, a plaque says that Galileo Galilei was born in that house. From Borgo Stretto, one side takes to the river Arno, the other takes you to Borgo Largo with other nice historic buildings.

Nice place to walk and you have to walk the legnth of the street if you arrive by train and are going to the tower. We stopped for food and had some gelato.

Together with the more elegant and larger Borgo Largo, the street known simply as “Borgo” is the main commercial artery of the city, lined with shops, restaurants and bars. Borgo Stretto is one of the busiest streets of Pisa, narrow and enriched with arcades and buildings mostly built in the 14th and 15th century. It is a great place to grab a quick, light lunch while exploring the city.

This narrow street runs from near the river Arno to about half way to the Tower. It is pedestrianised and lined with shops, many under a series of arches.

A couple of good ice cream shops along this stretch as well as a good cake shop. Also restaurants both on this street and on some of the adjoining side streets.
