Florence and Pisa – Day Trip from Rome

The city of Florence is a place of incredible beauty, whose sights and sounds have stunned people the world over, and whose history is considered to have birthed the renaissance movement. One of the wealthiest places in medieval Europe, Florence has built a huge variety of immaculate historical landmarks, many of which you’ll be able to witness on your tour through this incredible locale.

This place, the “Cradle of the Renaissance”, holds many wonders – all laid bare as you stroll the enchanted cobbled streets. Stop and see the sights as you progress your journey, witnessing acclaimed monuments, hearing the water rush through immaculate fountains, and experiencing the splendor of Italian piazzas. Florence’s reputation with the Renaissance movement has been well-earned, and every pathway and street corner aims to prove that point in spectacular fashion.

After the sights and sounds of Florence, you’ll travel to Pisa, reaching what could be Italy’s most recognizable landmark – the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Having recently been upgraded through a selection of renovations, you will be able to ascend the tower to its highest floors, and soak in the incredible views from on high. Entrance to the tower is included as part of the tour.

The tower’s grand story of the earth giving way beneath its weight is a tale of incredible triumph. What once could have spelled doom instead fueled the fiery passion of the cultural landmark. Its resulting lean has made the tower unique on a global scale, with restoration and stabilization efforts working to keep the lean safely intact – regarding it with equal importance to the flawless quality of the structure itself.

From the leaning tower’s zenith, you might be able to see some of Pisa’s other famous landmarks. A sky-high view of the Field of Miracles will be an important sight, but you can also witness the nearby Pisa Cathedral, and the Campo Santo cemetery. Your tour is not just an introduction to the tower, but an exploration of Pisa as a whole – and with a guide by your side, you won’t miss any of the glorious secrets that others might pass by.
