  • Day 1

    Pisa

    Individual arrival and overnight. The city is famous all over the world for its magic Piazza dei Miracoli with the characteristic leaning tower, the bell tower of the city cathedral. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1987, besides a large number of monuments it also offers the friendly and lively atmosphere of a university city.

  • Day 2

    Pisa – Lucca

    Today’s route can be almost completely flat with an easy stage (25 km, difference in altitude +130m/-115m) that will take you northwards, cycling along the Serchio river and through the Pisan countryside until you reach the village of Ripafratta and then the city of Lucca, or a slightly longer and more challenging ride along the eastern side of the Monti Pisani and then Lake Massaciuccoli.
