PISA
Few cities in the world are so strongly associated with a building as Pisa is with the Leaning Tower. This charming city does however, have much more to offer than this world known icon. Pisa lies about ten kilometres away from the sea, though it is the sea to which it owes the splendour and decline of its history.
LUCCA
Lucca is a splendid town located in the heart of Tuscany, in a fertile plain. Its strategic position also makes Lucca one of the most visited cities. The centre of the city, rich in churches, palaces, squares and streets give the town a charming air. It is completely surrounded by 16th century walls with a perimeter of 4.200 meters. |
