Pisa

Two-day rail city break to Pisa, Italy, the Leaning Tower and Arno

Illustration of Pisa

railtour suisse offers this two-day, one-night rail package to Pisa, in Tuscany, built around a second-class train journey from Switzerland and one night in a 4-star hotel. There is no guide or organised sightseeing included, so the day in Pisa is left to the traveller, whether that means climbing the Leaning Tower's 294 steps for a view over the city, walking the UNESCO-listed Piazza dei Miracoli with its cathedral and Baptistery, a stroll along the Arno river past its palazzi and bridges, or a quieter visit to the Botanical Garden, one of the oldest in Europe. This suits travellers who want a short, independent city break centred on well-known sights, with the pace of the day left entirely up to them.
