Day 6: From Florence to La Spezia with enroute stop in Pisa & Lucca (B)
“Meet your private driver guide at the hotel early in the morning and transfer to La Spezia. Your first stop will be in Pisa for an independent visit. Once on the sea, Pisa was an incredible maritime power, with Venice, Amalfi, and Genova for centuries in the middle ages. The Leaning Tower made of Pisa a must-see site, but the city offers many other exciting things. The beautiful Square of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) hosts a beautiful Cathedral and the Baptistery. We’ll then continue to Lucca, for an independent tour. Located at the foot of the Apuan Alps, Lucca is one of the cities most loved in all of Tuscany. The Roman amphitheatre testifies Roman’s origin of the town. But still today, you can recognize Lucca as a Medieval town. The imposing walls surrounding the old town were maintained, and today, the top is a pedestrian promenade. The area around the walls is expertly preserved, with flourishing grass and trees everywhere along the walls. It’s great to see these imposing walls transformed into a park, where everyone can enjoy a bike ride around the perimeter, have a stroll or just rest on one of the many shaded benches. You will arrive in La Spezia late afternoon. Overnight in La Spezia.”

The inhabitants of Cinque Terre benefit not only from its pristine waters, but from its natural environment, where wild nature is interspersed with vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards, creating a precious bond between man, his traditions and this breathtaking stretch of coast.
