Your driver will drop you near the entrance to the UNESCO-listed Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), one of the most beautiful architectural complexes in Europe.
This extraordinary open space is home to Pisa’s four main monuments — the Cathedral (Duomo), Baptistery, Camposanto Monumentale, and the world-famous Leaning Tower.
Take a leisurely stroll around the square and soak in the atmosphere as your driver or guide explains the fascinating history of how the tower began to lean shortly after its construction in the 12th century.

Follow Via Santa Maria toward the Arno River, where colorful buildings line the embankments.
Cross the elegant Ponte di Mezzo bridge for classic photos of the cityscape.
You’ll have time to browse small boutiques and souvenir shops or simply enjoy a gelato while people-watching in one of Pisa’s cozy piazzas.

Your driver or guide will recommend or reserve a table at a local trattoria where you can enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine — freshly made pasta, local seafood, and fine regional wines.
Popular options include family-run restaurants within walking distance of Piazza dei Miracoli or scenic venues along the Arno. Enjoy your free time after lunch.

Sit back and relax as your driver takes you back through the rolling Tuscan landscape. Enjoy scenic views and perhaps a short photo stop in the countryside if desired.
