Discovering Tuscany and Umbria

Day 1: Arrival in Milan. We recommend to land in Linate airport as this is the closest to the town, compared to Orio al Serio or Malpensa that are well connected but quite far. Our Hotel will also be close to Linate. We also recommend to visit the city center, with the magnificent Duomo. In the evening we will get together in order to know each other and have the welcome dinner.

Day 2: We will get our motorbikes after fulfilling all rental formalities. We will enter the motorway, destination South and, in the afternoon, we will get to Lucca. This town has medieval walls perfectly preserved, and it is really worth renting a bicycle to look around.

Day 3: We will leave Lucca and quickly get to Pisa where we will visit the Piazza dei Miracoli where the very famous Leaning Tower is. After a lovely itinerary thru all these beauties, we will go back to our motorbikes visiting other villages like the beautiful SanGimignano known as the Towers village, that during Middle Age represented the real economic power. We will finally get to Florence, the cradle of the renaissance.

This is one of the two nations located onto the Italian territory other than the Vatican.

The city center will take us to Middle Age, and it is absolutely mandatory to walk along the path that join the three towers.

All the town districts compete for the victory in this crazy race that arouses enthusiasm among the locals.
