Day 01
Explore Florence and Pisa in One Day
- Be picked up at the dock at your time of landing (suggested starting time at 08.00 am). Your English-speaking Italian tour guide/driver will be ready in front of your ship, waiting for you and holding a sign with your name on it.
- Enjoy the drive to Piazzale Michelangelo and its panoramic view of Florence from above.
- Visit the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo's famous David, then continue to Santa Croce, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria.
- To fully enjoy the atmosphere of this beautiful town, have lunch in a simple, tiny trattoria.
- After lunch, drive to Pisa, which, according to legend, was founded by mythical Trojan refugees from the homonymous Greek city of Pisa.
- Visit the famous Piazza del Duomo, called Piazza dei Miracoli, with the Cathedral built in white and coloured marble between 1063 and 1118, featuring the bronze door of San Ranieri and the pulpit by Giovanni Pisano.
- In the square stands the characteristic Leaning Tower, the bell tower built in the 12th century. It is 56 metres high and acquired its characteristic inclination 10 years after the beginning of its construction. Today, it is one of the most famous Italian monuments in the world.
- Return to your ship at 05.00 pm.
