Itinerary and highlights

The Tower of Pisa, known worldwide for its characteristic inclination, is one of the most iconic monuments in Italy. Located in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, the tower is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa. Construction began in 1173, but due to the soft terrain, the tower began to tilt already during the work. About 56 meters high, the Tower of Pisa is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Today you can climb its 294 steps to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the square below. The tower is a symbol of resilience and a must-see attraction for those visiting Tuscany.

Piazza dei Miracoli, is the heart of Pisa and one of the most stunning architectural complexes in the world. It includes the iconic Leaning Tower, the Cathedral of Pisa, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. This UNESCO World Heritage site is renowned for its beauty and historical importance, and attracts visitors from all over the world to admire its splendor. Once you reach Piazza dei Miracoli, you will have free time to admire the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery from the outside. Entrance to the Leaning Tower of Pisa is included.

Enjoy your walk in the heart of Florence with a stop in Piazza del Duomo where you can admire the wonderful Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, famous for its beautiful dome designed by Brunelleschi. From there, head to Piazza della Signoria, the political centre of the city, where you can admire Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi, with its eye-catching statues. During the walking tour admire the wonderful Piazza Santa Croce and then continue to Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, famous for its goldsmiths and jewellers shops. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Arno River and soak up the unique atmosphere of this historic passage. End your walking tour by reaching Piazzale Michelangelo to enjoy the view of Florence from above.

The Accademia Gallery in Florence is famous all over the world for hosting Michelangelo's masterpiece, the David. This monumental sculpture depicts the young biblical hero in the instant before his battle against Goliath, capturing the tension and determination in the marble with surprising realism.
The David, more than 5 meters high, is a supreme example of the Renaissance, exemplifying the ideal of male beauty and Michelangelo's sculptural mastery. Admire this remarkable work and see the fine details of the muscles and veins that reveal an intense knowledge of human anatomy. Accompanied by your local guide you will understand the historical and artistic context in which it was created, making this experience unique and unforgettable.
