Italy: Tantalising Tuscany
Day 1-4 Pisa
Day 1-4 PisaVisit the Leaning Tower of Pisa and ascend its sloping stairwell to take in the view across the city and surrounding countryside. Nearby, you’ll find the city’s beautiful cathedral and the cloistered cemetery of the Camposanto Monumentale, both situated alongside the Tower in the Piazza dei Miracoli. But there’s more: this spirited university town is packed with art, palaces and museums that will eat up your time.

Day 5-8 Florence
Appreciating art in this beautiful city isn’t a choice. Every square and building façade commands attention as you stroll the maze of streets and alleyways that makes up Florence’s Old Town. The Ponte Vecchio’s tiny stores have existed from mediaeval times though today, you’re more likely to be buying jewellery than meat.
