Pisa and the Leaning Tower Half-Day Trip from Florence

Expand your stay in Florence with an afternoon visit to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one of Italy's most popular attractions. With your transport and sightseeing taken care of, you can sit back and enjoy your half-day visit to the famous Renaissance city of Pisa.

After a panoramic drive through the Tuscan countryside, you'll drive along the embankment lining the River Arno into Pisa. Your visit begins with a guided visit of Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa (exterior visit). This masterpiece of Romanesque art is surrounded by the equally beautiful baptistery (exterior visit) and cathedral (visit inside).

You will then have free time to explore Pisa on your own. Or perhaps you would like to take a guided walk to Piazza dei Cavalieri with your tour escort, where you will see Scuola Normale, one of the most famous universit's in the world. Founded by Napoleon in 1810, the university has been educating students and carrying out research for nearly two centuries.
