A popular day trip from Florence is Pisa, 81km west of Florence.
Most people go for one reason only and that's to view the amazing Leaning Tower. The centre of Pisa is a stunning site with it's Cathedral, Baptisty and of course the infamous tower, which has required much work to ensure it's exact lean. The tower can be accessed and climbed, but you need to book a ticket that gives you a time that you can walk up, there could be a wait of a couple of hours. Whilst waiting you can do what all the other tourists do and surround the tower to take cheesy photos of your loved ones pretending to hold the tower up. Unfortunately the area around these magnificent structures are taken up with cheap touristy markets, with many of the vendors walking around on foot shoving fake branded watches and sunglasses in your face.
