Pisa and the Leaning Tower Half-Day Trip
Set off on a half-day trip to Pisa and explore one of the most-visited cities in Italy and discover its historic center accompanied by a guide and then climb to the top of its most emblematic monument, the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Pisa and the Leaning Tower Half-Day Trip
Get on board an air-conditioned coach and sit back while you are driven to the home town of Galileo Galilei and one of the most renowned cities in Italy, Pisa. It is situated just 80 km west of Florence.
Upon arrival, follow your guide along the Medieval city walls and discover the history of Pisa and its lesser-known stories. The walking-tour will continue through the main streets and squares to Porta Santa Maria, which offers spectacular views through its large door until you get to Piazza dei Miracoli, the city’s most impressive square.
In Piazza dei Miracoli, step inside the Pisa Cathedral, a Romanesque masterpiece, admire beautiful facade of the Baptistry and the Camposanto Monumentale, a remarkable cemetery with beautiful works of art.
At the end of the guided tour, you’ll be given admission tickets to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the city’s iconic symbol and a monument well worth visiting.
After your visit, you’ll head back to Florence and get there at approximately 2:45 pm.
Important information
- Children under 8 years old are not allowed to climb the Leaning Tower.
- Although it is uncommon, on the days of more visits, the authorities of Pisa may restrict the entrance to the Cathedral. If we cannot access the Cathedral, we will visit the Cavalieri Square.
