Itinerary – Pisa & Lucca at a Relaxed Tuscan Pace
Florence to Pisa – Through the Tuscan Countryside
Your private driver will pick you up directly at your hotel in Florence and take you to Pisa, a scenic drive of approximately one hour through the Tuscan countryside.
Pisa & Piazza dei Miracoli – A UNESCO Masterpiece
Upon arrival in Pisa, you will have free time to explore the magnificent Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most extraordinary monumental complexes in Europe. Here you’ll admire the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world and a symbol of Italian ingenuity and history.
You will also see the Baptistery, begun in 1152 and renowned for its acoustics and the sculptures of Nicola Pisano, as well as the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built between the 11th and 12th centuries and considered a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture.
If you wish to climb to the top of the Leaning Tower, we will take care of the necessary advance reservation. To add this unforgettable experience, simply select the appropriate option in the reservation box in the upper right corner of this page.
Lunch Break – Tuscan Flavors
After visiting Pisa, there will be time for a relaxed lunch break in a nice local restaurant, either in Pisa or in Lucca. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy Tuscan cuisine, from fresh pasta and local olive oil to regional wines and traditional desserts (lunch is not included).
Pisa to Lucca – A Journey into Medieval Tuscany
After lunch, your driver will take you to Lucca, approximately a 30-minute drive from Pisa. Often described as one of Tuscany’s most elegant towns, Lucca is known for its peaceful atmosphere, intact city walls, and rich artistic heritage.
Exploring Lucca – Walls, Squares & Hidden Treasures
In Lucca, you’ll have time to explore the historic center, starting with the famous Renaissance walls, exceptionally well preserved and now transformed into a tree-lined pedestrian promenade encircling the city. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views over the rooftops and surrounding countryside.
You will visit Piazza Anfiteatro, a unique oval-shaped square built on the foundations of an ancient Roman amphitheater, and the Duomo of San Martino, Lucca’s cathedral dating back to 1062, home to remarkable artworks and intricate medieval details.
You may also see Torre Guinigi, Lucca’s most famous medieval tower, topped with a hanging garden of oak trees — a rare and fascinating sight. Climbing the tower is possible based on time availability.
Return to Florence
At the end of your visit to Lucca, your private driver will take you comfortably back to your hotel in Florence, concluding a full day of discovery, culture, and Tuscan charm.
