Description - What to expect

Start your Florence to Pisa day trip from central Florence and travel west on just over an hour’s journey through the Tuscan countryside. Upon arriving in Pisa, follow your guide on a walk alongside the Medieval walls up to the old entrance gate, Porta Santa Maria.

From this vantage point, enjoy a panoramic view of the city, including Piazza Dei Miracoli, with its marble architecture and neat grass lawns. Next, follow your guide on your visit to the precious interiors of the Cathedral, an unchallenged masterpiece of Romanesque art.

You will see the Pisa Baptistry and Duomo di Pisa, hearing the stories behind each architectural gem as you walk towards the world-famous, UNESCO-listed Leaning Tower of Pisa. Learn about the tower’s unique history from your guide while snapping some fantastic photos. If you have selected, the optional skip-the-line entrance ticket, get the opportunity to climb up the Pisa Tower to admire its unique structure and appreciate from a close-up perspective its tilting properties.

Before your return journey back to Florence, where your Florence to Pisa day trip will conclude, take some free time to enjoy the ambiance of the city, snap some memorable photos, and try some delicious Italian ice cream.
