Florence and Pisa from Rome
Tuscany has been a region of great importance in the creation of the Italian language and the country itself. Now you have the opportunity to visit this beautiful Italian region, rich in culture, history and art and to learn more about two of its most important and picturesque cities.
During the Middle Ages, Florence was an important cultural, economic and financial center and its streets originated in the second half of the fourteenth century, the Renaissance. The city is replete with history, art, philosophy and science and there are samples of it in every corner. To make sure you don't miss anything essential, the guide will take you on an itinerary full of curiosities and interesting facts that will allow you to admire Piazza del Duomo, Mercato Nuovo, Piazza della Repubblica or Palazzo Strozzi. You will walk over the Vecchio Bridge and from there you will reach the Palazzo Vecchio. You will have some free time to eat on your own and taste the typical Panzanella or Panino col lampredotto. If you want to make the most of your time in Florence you can book the option that includes tickets to “Galleria dell'Accademia" and see closer Michelangelo's David. This part will not be guided, but our team will ensure you the direct entrance to the monument. After the lunch break you will return to the bus to go to Pisa. Upon arrival, you will go to Piazza dei Miracoli, declared a World Heritage Site and where the Pisan Romanesque style cathedral is located. In this same square you will have the opportunity to take the famous photo next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Before returning to the bus back to Rome, you will have some time to explore on your own and see up close the Battistero di San Giovanni and the Angelo Caduto.
We will arrive in Rome in the late afternoon, travel in a comfortable bus where you can relax while crossing the beautiful landscapes of Tuscany and Lazio.
Highlights:
• Cross the Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge in Florence that was not destroyed in World War II and know why.
• Behold the octagonal dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria di Fiori, made of 4 million bricks and discover how Brunelleschi managed to raise this work that seemed impossible for the time.
• Walk around Piazza della Signoria where the thermal facilities were located in Roman times and where an identical copy indicates the original location of Michelangelo's David.
• Learn curious facts about the Tower of Pisa, did you know that it started by leaning in one direction and then continued to lean in the opposite direction?
