Milan - Arezzo
Today heading towards the famous Apennine Mountains, along the Brenta River past Bologna, to Pisa, the hometown of Galileo and a city, which makes the most of its claim to fame - its Leaning Tower! It has leaned almost since construction first started, due to the swampy soil beneath it. At a photo stop here, catch its amazing beauty along with its characteristic tilt. It is the Duomo's (Cathedral) Bell Tower. Together with the Baptistry, these are all a part of the Square of Miracles. Then move towards Florence, a shrine to the marvels of the Renaissance, with more artistic riches per square meter than any other city in the world! Included in your guided city tour of Florence is a visit to the remarkable Duomo (when open for visitors), which is the fourth largest cathedral in the world. It leads the city's skyline and still expresses its scale - no building in town is taller! Also, it is the 'Gate to Paradise' - the blissful gilded bronze doors of the Baptistry, formerly a pagan temple and the open-air gallery in Signoria Square. Then walk on the prominent Ponte Vecchio, the ancient surviving bridge in the city. After a thrilling trip, drive to the area of Tuscany. Upon arrival, head on to your hotel and check-in.
