Tuscany & the Veneto

Pisa, Florence, Venice and Verona in one late-summer week.

Panoramic view over Florence at dusk, with the Ponte Vecchio and other bridges crossing the Arno between terracotta rooftops.
About the trip

A week in August 2025 after the Cinque Terre: the Leaning Tower at Pisa, Brunelleschi's dome and the Arno at dusk in Florence, quiet canals and standing rowers in Venice, and the Adige curving under Ponte Pietra in Verona. Plus a lot of pasta.
