Your personal chauffeur will pick you up at your hotel and take you on a journey through the sunny countryside between Florence and Pisa; once there, you will be dropped off at Piazza dei Miracoli, where the symbol of the city has been standing for 840 years.
Besides the Tower, Piazza dei Miracoli houses other buildings of historic and artistic value such as the imposing Medieval Cathedral that is home to an elaborately carved pulpit by Giovanni Pisano, the Baptistery and the Monumental Graveyard, partially destroyed during the bombings of World War II and recently restored to its original splendor.
Another popular place in Pisa is Piazza dei Cavalieri, where the Muda Tower stands; mentioned by Dante in his Divine Comedy, this former tower – now included in the Palazzo dell’Orologio – is famous for being the place Count Ugolino della Gherardesca and his family were immured in.
Before going back to your accommodation in Florence, you can ask your chauffeur to drive along the river so that you can enjoy the Lungarni Pisani (the embankments along the Arno)… Giacomo Leopardi – one of the greatest Italian poets – thought they were more beautiful than those in Florence!
For those who like to take things at their own pace and want to make the most of a half day out in Pisa.
