Day Four - Tuscany
Home » Italy » Italy One Week Itinerary » Day Four - TuscanyPosted by Your Guide on May 4, 2006 5:35 PM
Spend day four in the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside, making your way toward Florence. This part of Italy is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Rolling hills, verdant pastures, and lush vineyards melt into one another with charming villages linking them together along the way. A journey through Tuscany is a truly Italian experience every visitor should enjoy. Even making a lunch stop in one of the hill towns for fresh cheese and prosciutto feels inspiring.
Make your way to Pisa and view the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was originally intended to stand vertically and serve as a bell tower, but shortly after construction began in 1173 it started to lean, and its tilted status has made it one of the world’s most recognizable buildings. Also worth visiting in Pisa are the Piazza del Duomo, the Il Duomo, and National Museum (Museo Nazionale do San Matteo).
From Pisa you can make your way to Siena. The Il Duomo was built in the 12th century. The interior is stunning, with works of art embedded in the flooring.
For lodging, make arrangements to stay the night in a villa, so you can have your own experience waking up under the Tuscan sun.
