Florence, surrounded by the Tusco-Emilian Hills
and inhabited from the
8th Century B.C , is now home of 80% of the world's most valuable
art objects.
Don't worry about the short time at your disposal. Our chauffeur
will meet you
at the pier of Livorno, drive you through some of the most
beautiful Tuscan countryside
for an hour, and you will be in the city of Florence.
Take photographs of the splendid view of Florence from the
Piazza Michelangelo, and then as as art addict you can visit
The Galleria dell' Accademia to see the original David of
Michelangelo,
and a quick visit to The Uffizi Gallery to see the most important
works of art.
If you wish to do this we recommend a guide, who will help
you save
time by avoiding the lineups and show you exactly what you
want to see.
After this, a walk in the town where you will see the Duomo,
Santa Trinità,
The Bell tower of Giotto, Piazza Strozzi, Piazza della Signoria,
Palazzo Vecchio and the famous Ponte Vecchio over the river
Arno.
If you do not wish to enter the Galleria dell' Accademia or
the
Galleria degli Uffizi, then you will have time to enter the
Duomo
and The Baptistery.
After a 3 hour walking tour of Florence, stop for a quick
drink and a snack ,
a spot of shopping, and meet your driver who will take you
to Pisa.
Step into the Piazza dei Miracoli and draw in your breath
at the sight
of the Leaning Tower, that still continues to lead slowly
but surely
a miracle of nature ! Or perhaps engineering !!!
You will see The Duomo with it's 11th Century Romanesque designs
and the cathedral built in 1063. Browse the souvenir shops
in the square
and return to the pier at Livorno.
