Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli and Lucca's Renaissance Walls

You will be picked up from your hotel or location in downtown Florence and drive for about an hour towards Pisa. As soon as you arrive, you will pass through the historic suburbs to reach Pisa's most famous square, Piazza dei Miracoli. Pisa and its Piazza dei Miracoli have always been a fundamental part of a trip to Tuscany. Despite the presence of many tourists, the place radiates a timeless, evocative, and powerful beauty.
Marvel at the perfect grass surrounding the enormous Duomo, Baptistery, and the famous Leaning Tower.
Travel through one of the gates in Pisa's medieval city walls and arrive at the breathtaking Leaning Tower of Pisa, the unmistakable tilting tower that has people marveling from all over the world. Visitors typically try to keep the Leaning Tower upright, with a little help from their camera's perspective, to make for amusing photos.
Continue to the next stop, the charming town of Lucca, with its perfectly preserved Renaissance-era city walls. Stroll through Lucca's streets and piazzas, which exude a unique atmosphere. Learn about the important place the city holds on the Via Francigena route.
Visit Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, a vivid square built on the remains of an ancient Roman amphitheater. With its charming medieval atmosphere, Piazza dell'Anfiteatro offers many restaurants where you can enjoy lunch.
Visit Torre Guinigi, the most important tower of Lucca. At the top of the tower is a hanging garden, from which you will take in a breathtaking view of Lucca and the surrounding countryside. Tickets to reach the top of the tower cost 4 euros per person.
See San Michele in Foro, one of the most beautiful churches located in the Roman center of Lucca. This basilica dates back to the year 1000 and preserves priceless works of art. A large marble statue depicts the Archangel Michael defeating the dragon, and according to tradition, the basilica is dedicated to him.
Take a walk or ride a bike on top of the fantastic walls of Lucca.
At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back at your hotel.
