This day tour from Florence visits Vernazza and Manarola in the Cinque Terre and Pisa in one day. Choose between the Classic tour, traveling by minivan with a tour leader, and the self-guided option, traveling on your own with train tickets and detailed instructions. In the Cinque Terre, ride the local train to the colorful fishing villages of Vernazza and Manarola on the Ligurian coast, and in the afternoon explore the Leaning Tower, cathedral and baptistery freely at Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli. You can also swim in the sea if the weather is good.
Depart Florence early in the morning and travel about 2 hours to La Spezia, the gateway to Cinque Terre National Park. On the Classic tour you travel by minivan with a tour leader; with the self-guided option you take the train following the instructions you receive in advance. It is a long day, but you get to see two of Italy's most iconic places.
The Cinque Terre villages can only be reached by train. From La Spezia, take the local train to Vernazza, a UNESCO-listed fishing village on the Ligurian coast, and spend about 1 hour exploring the harbor, narrow lanes and coastal views. Then continue by train to Manarola for about 1 hour of free time with panoramic views. Traveling between the villages by train is part of the local experience.
In the afternoon, travel about 1 hour 30 minutes from La Spezia to Pisa. At the UNESCO-listed Piazza dei Miracoli, spend about 1 hour freely exploring the Leaning Tower, cathedral and baptistery, taking photos or relaxing at a nearby café. Then return to Florence in about 1 hour 30 minutes, arriving in the early evening.
