A Taste of Italy

The charismatic city of Pisa is a must-see for visitors exploring the Tuscan region of Italy! Widely recognised for its iconic landmark, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, this beautiful city combines a wide range of historic and Romanesque attractions with a feel-good atmosphere and a brilliant range of restaurants and bars.

Pisa is of course most famous for the unintended Leaning Tower of Pisa, standing at just less than 56 metres, and no trip here is complete without a photo of you pretending to hold it up! The Tower is part of the Piazza del Duomo, which also includes the Camposanta cemetery, the Baptistery (the largest in Italy), as well as the Duomo itself, set within the picturesque grounds in the heart of Pisa.

The Tuscan city also offers many cultural pieces of architecture bursting with Italian heritage such as gothic cathedrals and churches, from the Santa Maria del la Spina to the San Paulo a Ripa d’Arme. If you would like to explore more of the culture and history of Pisa, why not visit the renowned Knights Square. Once the political centre of Pisa within the medieval times, the square now boasts sights such as Medici statue of Cosimo I and more.

Beautiful Florence, Italy’s city of art and cultural heartbeat, is situated on the banks of the River Arno. It offers many delights, from its famous museums, palaces, piazzas and churches to some of the most important sites in Florence, including the Cathedral and the library of San Lorenzo’s with its magnificent exhibition of Michelangelo's architectural genius.

The Italian Lakes are renowned for their outstanding beauty, with shimmering blue waters surrounded by lush green forests, and Lake Como in particular has a lot to offer coach trip visitors to its picturesque shores.

Dramatic mountain scenery reflecting in still crystal clear azure waters make Lake Como one of the most romantic settings in the world.

Italy’s third largest lake, which forks through the Lombardy region, is home to some of the most seductive landscapes in the world, only interrupted by pretty lakeside towns and palatial villas which continue to attract A-List celebrities. The ferry runs from Hotel Bazzoni across the lake to the village of Bellagio, known for its elegant architecture, quaint cobbled streets and beautiful tourist treasures like the Tower of the Arts.

Or why not take a stroll along the lakeside to Villa Carlotta, a stunning art museum, to immerse yourself in the luscious botanical garden or the rich collection of artwork inside!

A scintillating place oozing Italian style and charm that will have you in the palm of its hand throughout your entire coach break.
