1. Leaning Tower

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Europe’s most famous buildings. It attracts millions of visitors a year from all over the world. The Leaning Tower is the freestanding Romanesque campanile (bell tower) of the cathedral, called the Duomo. The tower and Duomo are in the Piazza dei Miracoli. The history and architecture of the tower are fascinating, however, most people visit the iconic building to observe and photograph its strange sideways lean.

2. Arno River

The Arno River travels gently through Florence on its 150-mile (240-kilometer) journey from Mount Falterona to the Tyrrhenian Sea. During Roman times this was a significant resource to the city and allowed merchants to bring wealth by trade links with the Mediterranean. Walk the banks of the Arno River today to see iconic bridges and resplendent palaces. Cruise the river waters by boat and rafting tours.
