Detailed itinerary

Our driver will pick you up from your selected location (hotel, B&B, or private apartment). The first stop is the historic town of Lucca, where you'll have free time to explore at your own pace.

This self-guided tour of Lucca lets you discover its rich history, from Roman times to the medieval, Renaissance, and modern periods. Visit the birthplace of the famous composer Giacomo Puccini and stroll through the town’s charming streets and piazzas. Don't miss the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, a unique oval-shaped square built over the ruins of a Roman amphitheater, where you can admire its distinctive architecture.

A highlight of Lucca is its Renaissance city walls, now lined with trees and transformed into pedestrian-friendly paths. Take time to visit the Torre Guinigi, an iconic tower with a rooftop garden, and the Duomo di San Martino, a stunning cathedral with impressive art and architecture.

Stop 2

After your visit to Lucca, you’ll head to Pisa, where you’ll have free time to admire and photograph the iconic Leaning Tower and other landmarks in the Piazza dei Miracoli.

The Leaning Tower, an architectural marvel, began tilting during its construction in the 12th century due to soft ground. The tilt continued as construction finished in the 14th century, and stabilization work between 1993 and 2001 successfully reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

Also explore the stunning Cathedral of Pisa with its Romanesque architecture, and the Baptistery, known for its impressive acoustics and unique design. With plenty of time to roam, you can capture unforgettable photos and soak in the history and beauty of Pisa’s world-renowned monuments.

After your time in Pisa, the journey continues along the scenic A11/A12 highway, crossing from Tuscany into Liguria in about 1 hour. This picturesque route takes you close to the stunning Apuan Alps, also known as the Marble Mountains, before passing through La Spezia, where you can admire the beautiful Gulf of Poets.

The final destination is Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you'll have the opportunity to explore this coastal treasure. Discover the breathtaking landscapes and the unique charm of the five colorful villages that make up this region. With dramatic cliffs, terraced vineyards, and sparkling blue waters, Cinque Terre offers an unforgettable experience for those eager to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and history of the Italian Riviera.
