If you're wondering whether a day trip to Pisa from Rome is worthwhile, the answer is yes. This activity allows you to see the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio and, of course, take the famous photo next to the Leaning Tower.
Day Trip Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet outside the exit of the Tiburtina station, where we'll hop on a bus to make our way to the beautiful Italian region of Tuscany.
After approximately a 4-hour journey, we'll reach our first stop, Pisa. When we get there, you'll have free time to visit the Piazza dei Miracoli, which is a World Heritage Site, and the place where the Leaning Tower of Pisa is located. This iconic construction is a cornerstone of Tuscan Romanesque architecture. Until 1990, when work to stabilise the tower was carried out, it leaned 1 mm more and more every year.
You'll learn all about this and lots of other fun historic facts relating to this bell tower, which has become one of the most famous towers in the world. After taking the obligatory photo holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, you'll have some free time to explore the square and take a closer look at the Baptistery of St. John and the sculpture of the Fallen Angel by Igor Mitoraj.
Next, we'll head to Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. This city is bursting with art and history, which you can soak up at your leisure as you explore and stop at its main monuments. You can check out the Florence Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and its beautiful dome, the Piazza della Repubblica and the Palazzo Strozzi.
Don't forget to cross the Ponte Vecchio and admire the impressive silhouette it casts over the Arno River! You'll also have some free time to eat lunch on your own. We recommend trying panino with lampredotto, which is a typical Florentine sandwich.
After an incredible day, we'll take our bus back to the Italian capital and we'll drop you off back at the meeting point after 14 hours.
