Your experience

Take your time strolling around Pisa's important sites like the famous Leaning Tower and Pisa Cathedral. Visit the magnificent square dominated by the Cathedral. Learn about Pisa Romanesque architecture in the Cathedral, where you can admire the world-famous Leaning Tower, the round Baptistery with its suggestively columned arcades, and the Camposanto, an authentic Romanesque building.

During your visit to Piazza dei Miracoli, your knowledgeable guide will show you some of the city's most astonishing landmarks, which are simply known as "miracles" for their spectacular beauty and unique design. First, start off your tour with the Square of Miracles which depicts the culture and tradition of Romanesque history. This magnificent square is dominated by the medieval cathedral, which is typical of the characteristic Catholic architecture of Pisa.

Next, you will have the opportunity to visit the inside of the cathedral with your guide and also take a few pictures. On your tour, head to the Leaning Tower and celebrate its elegance and architecture. See the fascinating Leaning Tower, the round Baptistery with its columned arcades, and its extraordinary quadrangular cloister, the Campo Santo. After spending about an hour touring the Square, enjoy a breathtaking interior visit of the Tower where you will learn about the Tower's history and its leaning structure.
