- Lucca - Upon arrival in Lucca, enjoy some free time for lunch (if selected) or opt for a typical lunch in the city center as part of your guided tour. After lunch, our escort (if selected) will guide you through key landmarks like Torre Guinigi, Anfiteatro Square, and San Frediano Church.
- Torre Guinigi - Marvel at the 45-meter high tower, a prime example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Built from stone and brick, it’s one of Lucca’s most iconic monuments, featuring holm oaks at its top. In the early 14th century, Lucca boasted over 250 towers and numerous bell towers. The Guinigi family, then rulers of the city, adorned their residence with this tree-lined tower, symbolizing rebirth. The tower has 25 flights of stairs totaling 241 steps, becoming steeper towards the top with small metal ramps. Inside, admire paintings depicting medieval life.
- Basilica of San Frediano - Explore this Romanesque church built in the first half of the 6th century, dedicated to the holy Levites Vincenzo, Stefano, and Lorenzo. The original church was founded by San Frediano, an Irish presbyter and bishop of Lucca between 560 and 588. Excavations under the current basilica confirm the presence of the ancient building.
- Piazza Anfiteatro - Visit this square, originally a 2nd-century Roman amphitheater. In the Middle Ages, it was called “parlascio,” derived from the Latin “paralisium” (“amphitheater”), and was a meeting place for citizens. Over time, it was filled with buildings used as a salt warehouse, powder magazine, and prison.
- Piazza dei Miracoli - Fall in love with Pisa and the stunning Piazza Dei Miracoli, the city’s most famous attraction. Enjoy free time to visit the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, and Baptistery, or relax on the green meadow. An ice cream in the city center is included (if selected).
- Leaning Tower of Pisa - If selected, climb this iconic tower, the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, located in the famous Piazza del Duomo. Known for its characteristic tilt, it is a symbol of Pisa and one of Italy’s most recognizable landmarks. The free-standing bell tower is 57 meters high (58.36 meters including the foundation) and was built over two centuries, from the 12th to the 14th century. Its tilt is due to ground subsidence during construction.
- Camposanto - Visit the Monumental Cemetery, where legend says bodies buried here decompose within 24 hours. The Camposanto features a high rectangular wall with 43 blind arches and human heads on the arch connections. The main entrance, facing the square, is adorned with a Gothic tabernacle containing statues of the Madonna and Child, four saints, and angels.
- Battistero di San Giovanni - Admire Italy’s largest baptistery, standing 54 meters high with a 34-meter diameter. Built between 1152 and 1363, it features a truncated cone dome covering the internal circle of pillars. The design references the Dome of the Rock and the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Later modifications by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano added Gothic elements.
- Duomo di Pisa - The Cathedral of Pisa, officially the Primate Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is located in the center of Piazza del Duomo, also known as Piazza dei Miracoli. It is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Pisa and a masterpiece of Pisan Romanesque architecture, reflecting the wealth and prestige of the maritime republic of Pisa at its peak. The building has a Latin cross layout with a large dome at the intersection, five naves in the longitudinal body, and a choir with two bays and an apse. The transept has four bays on each side and three naves with apses.
