One of the easiest points at which to access the [...]
I’ve visited Pisa a couple of times and what I most enjoyed doing was walking along the banks of the River Arno. There are so many interesting and colourful historic buildings dotted along the riverside.
On the northern bank of the river, on Lungarno Fibonacca is the entrance to the 19th century Giardino di Scotto. [...]
On a winter weekend in London, the South Bank of the Thames is one of my favourite places for a stroll. There’s something about the open aspect and views of the river that makes it a nice place to be, and there are plenty of places you can shelter if the weather turns against you. [...]
