Book a time slot to spiral the 294 steps of the Leaning Tower’s Romanesque campanile bell tower. Rest on the open-air galleries to marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage site, Piazza del Duomo below. You will have a bird’s eye view of the Gothic, marble Baptistery with its intricate carved portal and the five naves of the Doumo Catherdral.

A legend says that when Venus arose from the waves, 7 pearls fell from the tiara creating the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. Lying between he Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian sea, the seven islands forming the archipelagos are real gems adorning the coast of Tuscany.
