Florence & Pisa On Your Own

Florence & Pisa On Your Own

Discover the wonders of Pisa and Florence, including the Leaning Tower and the Piazza del Duomo.

Begin the day with a trip to Pisa, where you'll see the Leaning Tower, before spending free time to explore the magnificent buildings in the Piazza. Then head to Florence to experience the birthplace of the Renaissance, as you enjoy approximately 3 hours of independent exploration. You may wish to visit Piazza del Duomo, home to one of Europe's largest cathedrals, or the gothic Church of Santa Croce, burial place of famous Italians, or taste sweet Italian gelato as you stroll the streets.
