As one of the most recognizable buildings in Europe, the Leaning Tower of Pisa attracts visitors from across the globe.

3. 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.

5. Passeggiata di Viareggio

Passeggiata di Viareggio gives visitors a real Italian experience. Be prepared to use hand gestures to converse, because not many locals speak English. This authenticity also gives you the opportunity to take part in some of Italy’s finest traditions. It is common in Italy to take a “passeggiata” (evening stroll) down the promenade. Dress somewhat formally to blend in with the locals and take part in this social tradition.
