PISA

Our first day trip!
Hop on the train to PISA and take your picture shamelessly supporting the Leaning Tower. Afterwards, climb its winding staircase for a lovely view overlooking the city. Don’t forget to explore the rest of the Field of Miracles— visit the Baptistery with Nicola Pisano’s revolutionary 1260 carved pulpit showcasing the first classical three-dimensional nude since ancient times, and the enormous Duomo with another Pisano pulpit and gorgeous gilded ceiling. Finish the day admiring the houses along the Arno River and shopping in the fashionable boutiques of Corso Italia.
