Offered in: English

Our half-day shore excursion to Pisa from the port of Livorno is perfect for cruise passengers wanting a short, easy touring day with minimal driving. You'll have ample time at the Leaning Tower to take photos and even enter some of the monuments if you wish or climb the Tower. Pisa is a handsome city (that it is rarely given credit for) with many points of architectural interest, and you'll discover those together with your English-speaking driver, along with some select treasures of the city, such as Keith Haring's "Tuttomondo" mural and the charming street of Borgo Stretto with its fabulous bakery, where you can relax on the terrace and enjoy a pastry and beverage. If you prefer shopping over treats, we can substitute Corso Italia, Pisa's main shopping street. This is a private service so the itinerary is flexible.

    After about a forty-minute drive to Pisa, your driver will drop you off right at the Campo dei Miracoli, saving you twenty minutes of walking from where tour buses must park. You will have 45 minutes to visit the Campo dei Miracoli (there is no charge to enter the campus and view the monuments from the exterior). Besides the Leaning Tower, the Field of Miracles contains the cathedral, baptistery, and monumental cemetery. If you intend to enter any of the monuments or climb the Leaning Tower, we kindly request that you coordinate the timing with us so as to not create problems with the day's itinerary.

    In this historic, narrow street not far from the Leaning Tower, you will find a variety of shops but most importantly Pasticceria Salza. This legendary bakery is bursting at the seams with gorgeous pastries, cakes, bonbons, and sandwiches. Inside, the sumptuous surroundings recall a bygone era. Outside, there is an ample terrace where you can enjoy your sweet treat and a refreshment all'aperto. If you prefer shopping to eating, we can substitute Corso Italia, Pisa's main shopping street, for Borgo Stretto.

    The Tuttomondo mural in Pisa came about thanks to a chance meeting on the streets of New York, when a student from the University of Pisa happened to cross paths with Keith Haring. The work was created in 1989 on one exterior wall of rectory of the Church of Sant’Antonio Abate. Haring used especially bright colours for this mural, the one of few conceived from the beginning as a permanent work. The theme is harmony and peace in the world, illustrated through thirty of Haring's classic figures outlined in black. Haring considered Tuttomondo one of his most important projects. He died the year after it was unveiled.

    Perched at the edge of the Arno River, Santa Maria della Spina is a small unique church in the PIsan Gothic style. Built in 1230 and enlarged about a hundred years later. The name of the church comes from a relic once housed in the church; one of the thorns from the crown of thorns placed on Christ's head at the time of his crucifixion -- "spina" means "thorn" in Italian.

    If you thought the Leaning Tower was the only listing belltower in Pisa, think again! The belltower of the church of San Michele degli Scalzi is also leaning noticeably, but you won't find any tourists flocking here to take silly photos. The church was built in the Romanesque style and dates back to the 12th Century,
