VENICE
This city is romance: a bridge arching over a canal, a gondola gliding by, the moon reflecting off water. Venice is history: the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace), Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, great art and great museums.
Venice has a plethora of world-famous museums and artistic treasures. Pick and choose which places you'll visit in-depth, or just skim the surface and soak up the atmosphere in the City of Bridges.

PISA
This lively medieval university town in the Tuscan region of Italy. Although the Leaning Tower (known as the Torre Pendente by locals) is one of the main attractions and the symbol of the city, it is only one of the many beautiful treasures of Pisa. Today, visitors can climb the 294 steps of the spiral staircase leading up to the belfry at the top. It's also fun to just walk around Pisa, as the city is very compact, with many narrow streets and a great ambiance.

FLORENCE
Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in the world—and for many visitors, it is the most splendid. While travel to the city usually centers on its attractions, including museums, palaces and churches that overflow with masterful paintings and sculpture, it is not limited to those destinations. The cuisine, the enduring beauty of its architecture and the richness of its treasures cannot fail to educate, exhilarate and dazzle those who visit Florence.
