Rome to Pisa Day Tour. On this tour, you will be able to explore the city of Pisa and learn about its amazing history, art and architecture. If you only have a few days to enjoy Italy’s many highlights, this full-day tour from Rome is the perfect way to explore Pisa in a single day. Together with a small group of fellow travelers, you will depart in the morning in a comfortable vehicle directly to Pisa. Once you’ve arrived, you can visit the city independently: admire the Piazza dei Miracoli at Unesco, where you can see the world-famous Leaning Tower among other attractions.
The tower is a bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa, and is 55.86 meters high on the lower side of the slope, and 56.70 meters on the highest part. It weighs 14.5 tons, and the visit is worth 1 day in Pisa.
The construction then stopped for almost 1 century, also due to battles in the region. In 1272, work was restarted with the aim of correcting the inclination, however, this caused the tower to begin to lean to the other side. The monument has walls 4.09 meters thick at the base and 2.48 meters at the top. There are 294 steps and 3.99 degrees of inclination. In fact, before the restoration (between 1993 and 2001), the slope was 5.5 degrees.
- Opening hours: 9:45 am to 5:15 pm (November to February), 9 am to 6 pm (March, April, May and September) and 8:30 am to 10 pm (June 17 to August 31)
- Entrance fee: 18 Euros (includes the Cathedral)
The truth is that the most famous sights in Pisa are found in Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles). As well as the leaning tower, the Cathedral of Pisa (Duomo di Pisa) should also be included in your 1-day Pisa itinerary.
The Cathedral of Pisa, built between 1063 and 1092, is one of the symbols of the wealth of the then Republic of Pisa. All covered in marble, the work is the greatest example of the Tuscan romantic style. It has references from Byzantine, Arab, Lombard and classical traditions. In addition, its interior has 27 paintings that cover the chancel, located behind the main altar, representing passages from the Old Testament.
- Opening hours: from 10 am to 12.45 pm, and from 2 pm to 5 pm (November to February). 10 am to 6 pm (March), 10 am to 8 pm (April to September) and 10 am to 5 pm (October)
- Entrance price: free (you need to go to the box office and pick up the ticket by appointment). If you go up the tower, you can use the same ticket for the cathedral
Another construction present in the Praça dos Milagres, and which must be present on a 1-day visit to Pisa, is the Camposanto Monumentale, is a cemetery, the fourth and last building to be built on the square (between 1278 and 1464). It was actually supposed to be a church, but the project changed after it started.
- Opening hours: 9am to 6pm (March), 8am to 8pm (April to September), 9am to 5pm (October) and 10am to 5pm (November to February)
- Entrance fee: 5 Euros (7 Euros if you want to include the Baptistery as well)
Dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the Baptistery of Pisa is also located in the square, and is part of the architectural complex. Like the other buildings, the work is also included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Baptistery (of Gothic and Roman influence) was built between 1152 and 1363, and is 54.86 meters high. The religious building is still 107 meters in diameter, making it the largest construction of its kind in Italy. That way, you can’t stay out of the itinerary of what to do in Pisa.
- Opening hours: 9am to 6pm (March), 8am to 8pm (April to September), 9am to 5pm (October) and 10am to 5pm (November to February)
- Entrance price: 5 Euros (7 Euros if you want to also include Camposanto Monumentale)
When your day in Pisa is over, you will be taken back to Rome.
