Pisa beyond the leaning tower

When people think of Pisa, the first image is often its world-famous Leaning Tower. Yet the city holds much more: the magnificent Piazza del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to an extraordinary ensemble of monuments, while beyond the city walls, the Pisan countryside reveals charming villages and hidden treasures. This 3-day, 2-night itinerary blends the discovery of historic Pisa with its authentic neighbourhoods and includes an excursion to Calci, home to the grand Certosa Monumentale, a place of spirituality and culture. An inclusive and accessible tour that brings together art, nature, and relaxation, designed for travelers eager to explore Tuscany with new eyes — and all their senses.
