You start at the Airbnb in Montespertoli and drive around Castelfiorentino. In Empoli you take the 'Strada di grande comunicazione Firenze-Pisa to Montopoli in Val d'Arno.
The Rocca del Brunelleschi and Palazzo Pretorio are two historic buildings in Vicopisano that are part of a monumental complex open to the public. Built between the 12th and 15th centuries, Palazzo Pretorio is one of the oldest examples of civil engineering in the province of Pisa and includes the vicar's quarters, two audience chambers and prison cells. The parts of the building that are open to the public include the first floor, where permanent and temporary exhibitions are held, and the cells.

After a few kilometers you follow the Strada del'olio Monte Pisano.
Mount Pisano is a 'modest' mountainous system located in the north of central Tuscany, between Pisa and Lucca. It is considered 'unassuming' as the highest mountain, Mount Serra, is 'only' 917m high. The Olive Oil Route of Monte Pisano is an association created in 2002 by the will of individual olive oil producers or members of a cooperative and of the five municipalities on the Pisan side of the mountain: Buti, Calci, San Giuliano Terme, Vecchiano and Vicopisano. The aim is to promote and strengthen the area and its riches through routes through nature, history and tradition, as well as through events. Here, olive oil is the main product, obtained by traditional techniques of harvesting and pressing the olives.

The track winds upwards with some nice hairpin bends. Here and there you have a beautiful view of the plain of Pisa. You now descend to San Giulano Terme where you turn left to Pisa.
You can park near the entrance to the historic sites.
Pisa is best known for its leaning tower. This is the figurehead of the city. Although it is a tourist attraction, it is still special to see. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually the bell tower, or Campanile, of Pisa Cathedral. Due to the swampy ground, the Leaning Tower of Pisa started to lean at the start of construction. The construction of the tower was finally completed in 1350, but it was never possible to make the tower completely straight. You can only visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa under supervision. You buy an entrance ticket for a specific time slot; a group is allowed to go up every half hour. The higher you go, the more you will notice that the tower slopes.
After you have visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa, it is always fun to see everyone posing in front of the tower in the most funny and crazy poses. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located on the Campo dei Miracoli. This is the oldest and most touristic part of the city. Do you want to visit several sights on the Campo dei Miracoli? Then it is wise to buy a combi ticket.
The Duomo of Pisa, or Duomo Santa Maria Assunta di Pisa, stands next to the Tower of Pisa. The tower is the bell tower of this cathedral. No money was spared for the construction of Pisa Cathedral, which is why it is richly decorated. Both inside and out. Construction of the structure began in 1064 and was inaugurated in 1118. The marble building is already impressive from the outside, but it is certainly worth a visit, for the mosaics and frescoes, among other things. Another striking appearance in Pisa Cathedral is the beautifully decorated pulpit. The Pisa Cathedral, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, is located on the Campo dei Miracoli.
Behind the Duomo of Pisa is another beautiful building: the Baptistery. This is the baptistery of the cathedral and even the largest baptistery in Italy. Baptisteries in Italy were usually built free from the church, in a round or octagonal shape. The baptistery is dedicated to John the Baptist and, like the cathedral, it is richly decorated on the outside. You can see the life story of John the Baptist at the entrance. The decorations show the important role of baptism in the faith. Compared to the exterior, the interior of the Baptistery is quite austere. There is, however, a beautiful pulpit inside and the acoustics inside the Baptistery are also special. For that reason alone it is worth going in and experiencing this. You can also take a staircase to a higher floor, from where you can see the Duomo of Pisa.
The Campo dei Miracoli is built just outside Pisa's city walls. There is another interesting sight on this square: the Camposanto, or the Sacred Field. This is a walled cemetery. It may feel strange to visit a cemetery while visiting Pisa, but at the same time you will be amazed at the imposing tombs and Roman sarcophagi. Those who visit the Camposanto should certainly not miss the frescoes from the fourteenth century. Although these frescoes were damaged during the Second World War, they were restored immediately after the war. The most famous fresco is Triumph of the Dead, which depicts the time of the plague. The Camposanto is said to have been built on the grounds of Golgotha, the holy mountain where Jesus Christ was crucified. This land was brought to Pisa by an archbishop in the twelfth century.

After visiting these impressive sights you will leave the city and the hustle and bustle.
