Pisa & Florence, Italy Stay: Hotels & Return Flights

Pisa is home to an abundance of well-maintained Romanesque buildings, Gothic churches and Renaissance palaces. Piazza dei Miracoli is often hailed as one of the most beautiful urban spaces in the world, composed of immaculate walled lawns and home to a domed baptistery and marble cathedral. Of course, you simply must visit the architectural disaster of the 14th century - there really is nothing quite like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, a beautiful mistake! There is also a vibrant café and bar scene, as well as a buzzing street life, dominated by locals rather than tourists. If you’ve been daydreaming about frothy coffees in alfresco settings and browsing through quaint and quirky boutiques then the Corsa Italia, Pisa’s main high street, is where you need to be.

Home to masterpieces of art and architecture, it’s no wonder why many tourists flock to the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region. Simply strolling around the beautiful city and taking in the awe-inspiring architecture provides ample entertainment, with cultural hot-spots such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace well worth a visit. Be inspired by the Florence cathedral, with its uniquely terracotta-tiled dome and beautiful bell tower, or feast your eyes on Michaelangelo’s 'David' at The Galleria dell'Accademia, one of a plethora of museums and galleries interspersed throughout this cultural hub.
