After having met near the ship, we will depart for Pisa.
Within 20 min, we will arrive at our first stop? The
Leaning Tower of Pisa, standing a height of 183
ft on the lowest side and 186 ft on the highest side, this
freestanding bell tower has given Pisa most of its fame
and popularity.
Next stop, The Battistero that is said to be where
Galileo Galilee was baptized in 1564. From Pisa, Florence
is only an hour away.
Once in Florence we will start by visiting Michelangelo
Square to admire the fantastic view of one of the most
beautifully artistic cities in the world.
We will continue on to Signoria Square and its Palazzo
Vecchio, the political headquarters from the 12th until
the 15th century, The Basilica of Santa Croce (Holy
Cross), frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue. You then will be
able to get a glimpse at the "Scuola Del Cuoio"
or ?leather shop?. It was created through the collaborative
efforts of Franciscan friars of the Monastery of Santa Croce
and the Gori and Casini families in order to give orphans
the chance to learn a practical trade and a possible future.
From Santa Croce Square we are headed towards Florence?s
best-known symbol, "Ponte Vecchio" also
known as "Ponte d'Oro".
It is known as "Ponte d?Oro" for the simple reason
that it houses many amazingly exquisite jewellery shops
full of precious jewels and gems. Continuing through the
lovely lanes of this marvellous city, we will arrive at
the Duomo and will be able to admire the ?Cupola?
created by the master? Brunelleschi and the famous Giotto's
Tower.
At this point, we have two alternatives; a simple lunch
at one of the most beautiful squares in Florence with a
delicious sandwich or fresh salad or to sit down in one
of Florence?s many fabulous restaurants and decides among
a variety of superb local dishes accompanied by a glass
of Chianti. Normally a lunch will go between 25 and 30-euro
lunch and wine included the tip is purely at your discretion.

of "David".
