San Miniato and the Tower of Federico II: a few kilometres from Vicopisano (about 30 minutes), we find the hamlet of San Miniato, perfectly placed near Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Volterra.

Walk with us through 3000 years of history in the streets of Pisa. The city was the most powerful trading city of the Mediterranean.

The capital of Tuscany full of artworks, museums, churches and markets, all packed into a rather small city. We will take the train from our nearest railway station (Pontedera) and in about 45 to 70 minutes, depending on which train we get, we will arrive at Santa Maria Novella. From here we will take some of the little side streets, to discover the real Firenze.

The Medieval Manhattan of Tuscany – it was called by an American Tourist. All of the tall Towers that dominate the top of the hill on which this town is perched stand out in the distance like skyscrapers.
