07:30 a.m. – Departure from Florence.

09:15 a.m. - Pisa. We'll be required to drop you off at the tourist bus parking area. From there, we'll include a ride on the tourist train to access the monumental site. You'll have time to explore the impressive complex of Pisa, featuring the Leaning Tower, Baptistery, and Cathedral.

11:00 a.m. – Departure from Pisa. We'll continue traveling along the Mediterranean coast. Along the way, we'll pass the Carrara Marble Mountains, which appear as if they are covered in snow.

12:45 p.m. - Levanto. We'll arrive by train (tickets included) to one of its charming towns (normally Vernazza, but on peak tourism dates, it could be Manarola or Corniglia, very similar towns that are somewhat less crowded).

The train is scheduled to depart at 01:05 p.m. (subject to change), taking us through long tunnels next to the sea into the Cinque Terre region. Buses can't access this area because of its steep, mountainous terrain. The area remained isolated, preserving its traditions. Today, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

01:30 p.m. - Vernazza - Arrival by train. We'll arrive in one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre region, which retains its coastal character. Highlights include the Santa Margherita Church, built in 1318 on the seashore. Time for lunch.

Note: The train to Cinque Terre is a regular commuter service, not a tourist train. During peak tourism times, there can be long waits as trains may be full, and seat reservations are not available. In some cases, the journey might be done standing. If this happens, we recommend walking to the monumental site, which is approximately 900 meters away.
