The beautiful city of 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, 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 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.
