FULL DAY SHORE EXCURSION FROM LIVORNO - PISA AND LUCCA

This Shore Excursion will depart from Livorno and take you to Pisa to visit the Miracle Square with the leaning tower of Pisa, cathedral, baptistery and "camposanto", this square is considered one of the most beautiful in Tuscany.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa probably carries the most legends of buildings of its kind; perhaps it was deliberately constructed to lean. Perhaps Galileo who was born in Pisa, used to the let objects of different weights fall from the tower of Pisa, timed the fall to demonstrate his theories about bodies in motion. The tower is said to lean approximately 14 feet from the perpendicular. Climbing the tower is surely an evocative experience, and time permitting should not be missed. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the only building in the world where one could get out at each single level and walk around its exterior 360°.

The tour will then continue on to the nearby Lucca. A neighbour of Pisa, just to the north. The 16th century walls serve as a perfect introduction to the serene beauty of Lucca within. Thanks to them, Lucca was protected from any siege; consequently, its historic centre is perfectly preserved. In Lucca you'll find landmarks diverse in appearance and history - from a medieval maze of alleyways to the Roman grid-like arrangement of passageways, from Renaissance loggias to Rococo facades. Lucca has a distinctive look among Tuscany's towns; beneath red-tiled roofs, the buildings of Lucca are brick, white or cream; the palaces are more open, less fortress-like, and the church crenulations rises slender and delicate toward the sky. Today the city is said to produce the finest olive oil in the world. 

All tolls, parking, petrol and taxes are included.
