Begin the day by taking in a wonderful panoramic overview of the city from Piazzale Michelangelo, which boasts glorious vistas over the red roofs, Arno river and ancient city walls out towards the surrounding countryside.

    Next you can see a demonstration of the traditional craft of leather working at close quarters in a local workshop, and youll also have the opportunity to purchase some of the high-quality leather items for which the city is famous. From here youll enjoy a guided walk around Florences many highlights, including the Ponte Vecchio over the Arno, the Piazza del Duomo and Campanile Tower.

    youll also pass the Uffizi Gallery, which contains one of the most notable art collections in Florence. After the tour, youll have free time to see the city further, to shop, to enjoy a renowned Italian ice cream (see box on page 8), or to watch the world go by from a streetside cafe, before travelling on to your next destination, Pisa. Here you are free to wander, but be sure to have your camera ready to get a shot of the iconic Leaning Tower, the famous bell tower in the Square of Miracles, which also contains the centuries-old cathedral and baptistry.
