Pisa leaning tower

Cathedral
You will visit the marvelous Cathedral with the famous bronze lamp that inspired Galilei to discover the pendulum. Not only the bronze doors but also the west façade hides surprises. Inside, Pisa Cathedral is rich with magnificent works of art., another spectacular sight of this Florence and Pisa Tour.
Marble Baptistery
The circular marble Baptistery is a few steps away with Nicola Pisano’s great Pulpit and the acoustic effect under the dome. You will discover how notes last hanging in mid-air, enough time to “sing with yourself.” (ticket on request, not included)
Artists of Florence
Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Galilei, Cellini, Dante, Machiavelli, and Savonarola are only a few names that made the history of Florence, one of the best places to visit in Italy.
Florence Cathedral
You will visit Santa Maria del Fiore, an excellent example of a Gothic Church with a New Gothic façade and famous works of art. The most impressive is the massive ingenious Brunelleschi’s Dome, with fascinating frescoes of the “Last Judgement” by Vasari and Zuccari.
Piazza del Duomo
The tour continues with Piazza del Duomo with the octagonal Baptistery and his beautiful bronze doors by Ghiberti and Giotto Bell’s Tower. The main square in Florence is Piazza Della Signoria, among Florence’s top attractions. Besides Neptune Fountain, you will also see the magnificent Loggia dei Lanzi, a 14th-century arcade enriched with impressive statues. In front of the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, there is a copy of the world-famous Michelangelo’s David.
Bridge Ponte Vecchio
