Half Day Pisa Tour from Florence Tour Itinerary

Leave behind Florence and head through Tuscany to the world-famous city of Pisa. Undeniably one of Italy’s most popular destinations, each year thousands of people journey through the picturesque countryside to experience first-hand this unparalleled ancient architectural complex.

On this tour, you’ll escape the city streets of Florence and take a comfortable drive across Tuscany’s famously sun-drenched rolling hills as you watch the medieval villages and charming olive groves pass by. Once we arrive in Pisa, we’re straight into the heart of the action as the marvelous Piazza dei Miracoli – the Square of Miracles – is where the four famous Romanesque structures are found.

Collectively, the Pisa Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Camposanto, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa are known as the ‘Miracles’ – and your guide will describe in comprehensive detail the remarkable history behind each one. Roam the bustling square and consider the religious iconography of these structures as they each represent one of birth, life or death.

Once you’ve finished admiring these structures, we’ll head to the Cathedral and get an up-close look at the facade, which features an impressive Pisan Romanesque design. Head inside and explore the marble, mosaic and bronze works, while the commanding central nave is flanked by a series of towering granite pillars.

We’ll then continue onwards to the Baptistery and observe its profound Classical and Renaissance-era architecture. Featuring a stunning cupola and marble columns, it’s an incredible structure. Nearby, the enormous Camposanto is where you’ll get a glimpse of the Roman tombs and the sarcophagi, which is where many of Pisa’s most prominent figures are buried.

Having explored the rest of the Square of Miracles, it’s time to head to its most famous building, the Leaning Tower. Holding the esteemed distinction as one of the 7 Wonders of the World, your guide will explain the tower’s extraordinary history and the nature of its shifting ground underneath.

The tour concludes here, but the city of Pisa still offers so much to do. Consider heading to the ancient neighborhoods or exploring the centuries-old marvels such as the San Sisto Church or Piazza dei Cavalieri’s Cathedral. Pisa is a gorgeous Tuscan destination and this wonderful one-day tour offers you a chance to experience the region’s absolute best.
