Program

Day 1:
October 14. Friday. You can arrive in the city of the Leaning Tower, Pisa, by car or train without any problem. After releasing the luggage at the Nh **** hotel or similar (in the city center), the tour begins immediately with our specialized guide who will take us to discover the beauties of the old marinated republic. In about 2 hours we will see Piazza dei Miracoli, with its Cathedral, Baptistery, Cemetery and the Leaning Tower. To go up and see the view, you need to book your ticket in advance. Later, always with our guide, you can take a walk around the bell tower and discover Piazza dei Cavalieri with its Scuola Superiore Normale, the Conte Ugolino tower and many other characteristic churches of the city. Free lunch and in the afternoon some shopping in Corso Italia, full of shops for all needs! You will spend hours there!
At dusk, a walk inside the Food & Wine Festival, which is hosted by Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II just this weekend. Here you can drink and eat drinks and food from the local cuisine and tasting menus prepared directly by our chefs!

Return in the evening, on foot, and overnight at hotel Nh Pisa **** or similar. Breakfast included. Special Children: if you have the opportunity to bring your child with you, we will be super happy. We pay for your hotel nights!

Day 2:
October 15. Saturday. What's more beautiful than spending a saturday by the sea? Yes, about twenty minutes by car from Pisa you can have lunch in Marina di Pisa. Coast much praised by the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio and full of restaurants along the promenade. For all tastes and budgets! It is very advisable to book in advance given the feast day and especially the numerous Sunday bookings. After lunch, we advise you to eat an excellent ice cream or crepes right along the road and above all to walk to the port of Marina di Pisa. Here, if you are lucky, you will have the honor of seeing various VIP yachts, and why not, Cavalli's one! Return in Pisa in the afternoon and, why not, another visit to the Food & Wine Festival to finish tasting and drinking what we were unable to do the previous day. While tasting the local delicacies, in the background you can admire the beautiful mural by Keith Haring, a very recognizable American painter and writer.

Overnight at hotel Nh Pisa **** or similar. Breakfast included

Day 3:
October 16. Before returning home, it is very nice to have a nice pic-nic in the open air. For this reason we advise you to bring beach towels to relax in the lawn of the San Rossore Park, about 10 minutes by car from the center of Pisa. It is not uncommon to see squirrels and horses, given the presence of the Hippodrome right inside the Park. On this day you can eat with a packed lunch, but also bring a ball or snowshoes to practice some sport in the green of the trees that offer some shade on hot days. Return to your home with an extra cultural baggage.
