Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance. Once ruled by the powerful Medici family, it gave rise to artists like Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci. Its skyline is crowned by the majestic Duomo, and its streets are lined with centuries of artistic and intellectual legacy.
Pisa, once a maritime powerhouse, is best known for its Leaning Tower—but its history runs deep. The Piazza dei Miracoli, where the tower stands, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes a cathedral, baptistery, and cemetery—all architectural marvels.
La Spezia, nestled between the Ligurian Sea and the hills of Tuscany, is a gateway to Cinque Terre and a charming destination in its own right. Historically a naval port, it now blends seaside tranquility with easy access to some of Italy’s most iconic cities.
