Description:
Tour for cruise tourists from the port of Livorno to Pisa and Lucca
And for those who travel on a cruise in the Mediterranean with a call to the port of Livorno can confidently book an excursion to Pisa and Lucca, especially since they are only 20 km from each other.
It is a journey with a touch of the beauty of medieval architecture. You are waiting for funny legends and stories about the struggle for power, greed and vanity, fear and envy. All vices in one tangle against the backdrop of sleepless nights of the architects of the golden age of churches.
Two amazing cities of amazing fate, so close and so different. Bright, warlike, selfish once and touchingly sad today, Pisa and Lucca is the sweetest and most mysterious city in Tuscany, so significant in the past and just as charming today.
Pisa, the ancient Roman port that became the mighty Maritime Republic, is today proud of its past. The main attractions of the city are located on the "Plaza des Miracles", as witnesses to the prosperity, ambition and symbol of the power of the 1st Italian Maritime Power.
- Sightseeing tour to the “Plaza Miracles” with a visit, at your choice, to the monuments of the Cathedral Square, about two hours.
In the Cathedral is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the works of art of the early Renaissance.
In the baptistery, hear a demonstration of special acoustics.
At the Campo Santo Memorial Cemetery, admire the frescoes and a unique collection of ancient Roman sarcophagi, and of course take great photos against the background of the famous bell tower “The Falling Tower”.
Then our route will follow to Lucca. The transfer takes only 20 minutes on the local road through the elegant thermal town of San Giuliano Terme. We will climb up the winding road of the Pisa hills, from where Pisa looks like a palm, drive through the tunnel and find ourselves on the other side of the hill.
Lucca does not lure sensational monuments, but behind powerful walls and bastions, in the labyrinths of narrow medieval streets, numerous Romanesque churches and Renaissance palaces, the city hides its aristocratic charm.
The style of the city resembles the style of northern Europe rather than the city of Tuscany. It is called the city of 100 churches and many tower houses, and the opera capital of Italy - the birthplace of Luigi Boccherini, Giacomo Puccini, Sylvester Cattalani and one of the favorite cities of Poganini.
A sightseeing tour of Lucca for about two hours will introduce you to the most important sights of the city.
We will walk along the medieval fortress wall with an alley of plane trees, we will see one of the beautiful palaces in the Baroque style - the Pfaner Palace, the Dome Cathedral of San Martino, the Church of San Michele with its air facade, the ancient Basilica of San Frediano, the amphitheater square and the Guinigi Tower of brick and sandstone, at the height of which centuries-old dwarf oaks grow.
