Tour Details
All aboard the air-conditioned bus for a scenic ride over to Pisa, a thriving university city full of architectural gems as well as a buzzing cafe and bar scene. Departing from Livorno, you’ll arrive in Pisa at the Pietrasantina car park in approximately 40 minutes. Upon arrival, make your way up to Pisa's most famous building, the Leaning Tower, for a tour of this incredible structure both inside and out. Built over a span of almost 200 years, this freestanding bell tower became famous for its vertical tilt, thanks to the shifting ground underneath.
Constructed out of white Carrara marble, this tower features 7 bells and stands 55 meters high. Take a climb up its narrow staircase and be rewarded at the top with stunning panoramic views of Pisa and the surrounding area below. Be sure to grab the handrails to steady yourself, and walk the perimeter so you can experience both sides of the tilt at the top!
After visiting the Leaning Tower, you will have approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes of free time to explore the city further on your own. Check out the Duomo, visit the Renaissance-styled piazzas, or just enjoy the array of Gothic and Romanesque architecture as you pop into one of the many cafes or bars for some refreshment. Following your exploration, depart from Pisa's Pietrasantina car park and return to Livorno, arriving back at the same starting point in approximately 40 minutes.
Your cultural tour includes priority bus seating with free wifi on board, an entrance ticket to the tower, and a map of Pisa. A visit to the Leaning Tower is a must-do while in Italy!
