EMALIZ07 35 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Is it worth visiting both places the same day, or is one any better than the other! Never been before myself so not sure? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pesky Pirate 162 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I spent a week in Florence a few years ago and still didn't get to see everything. I did a half day tour to Pisa, on a cruise which was ok. It depends upon whether you anticipate going back again. Florence is definitely a must and, whilst others may disagree, if you are to go back at a later date I would suggest doing a full day in Florence and then do another trip to Pisa later…. Just my view but obviously you have to decide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cruiseada 52 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 It's nice to spend a whole day in Florence so much to see instead of rushing about. Pisa is nice but in my opinion doesn't need a whole day Tally 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest shilly3191 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 If I had the choice I would pick Florence done both before full day in Florence and 1/2 day in Pisa and think that Florence/Pisa in same day is too much. Cruiseada 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tally 390 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I agree with other's comments. Florence would need a whole day. Pisa doesn't. Once you have seen the Leaning Tower,and Cathedral there isn't much else to see in Pisa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigerlilly 97 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 we did both in one day and it was fantastic. i agree with all the above comments! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidH 588 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi jammydodger,<br /><br />Both places are worth visiting. However, having spent time in each on more than one occasion, I would suggest that Pisa is the place to visit from a cruise but that you cannot do justice to all there is to see in Florence in just one day. I guess the difficulty of the decision lies in whether or not you feel you are likely to have the opportunity to visit the area again in the future.<br /><br />Whatever you decide, I do hope you enjoy the magic of Tuscany.

EMALIZ07 35 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks for all your advice, I havent been to either place and as im travelling with small chilldren I didnt want to spend so long on a coach vising both places the same day, maybe Florence is the best option. Thanks again x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidH 588 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 If you do go to Florence, you may wish to visit the lively Mercato Nuovo where there is a bronze statue of a boar, know locally as "Il Porcellino" (i.e. piglet). It is said that, if you rub the boar's snout, you will return again to Florence. Worked for me!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Solent Richard Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is it worth visiting both places the same day, or is one any better than the other! Never been before myself so not sure? Good morning Jammy Dodger. The answer is yes but of course there is always a caveat. Have a look at this... http://solentrichardscruiseblog.com/2013/10/29/one-way-to-do-florence-and-pisa/ Probably the perfect way of killing two birds with one stone.

Pesky Pirate 162 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ron…. this is the Ponte Vecchio…. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buggalugs 44 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I agree doing Florence and Pisa in the one day is a very good idea. The majority of the day spent in Florence with just a short visit to Pisa is ideal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
