Half-Day Excursion to Pisa and the Leaning Tower from Florence
Overview
Discover the timeless magic of Pisa and its world-famous Leaning Tower! No trip to Italy is complete without seeing this iconic landmark — and this half-day tour from Florence makes it easy. After a scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside, your guide will lead you through Porta Santa Maria, where the stunning view of Piazza dei Miracoli opens before you: dazzling white marble, lush green lawns, and one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Italy. Explore with a professional guide, hear the stories behind Pisa’s medieval wonders, and step inside the magnificent Romanesque Cathedral. Then enjoy free time to wander among the Baptistery, the Monumental Cemetery, and of course, the legendary Leaning Tower. Before heading back to Florence, you’ll have plenty of time for photos and fun in one of Italy’s most iconic squares.
