Bhgewilson Posted March 28 #1 Share Posted March 28 Hello all. I am coming in on the Celebrity Equinox in July. We arrive on Saturday the 13th and leave on the 14th. The 14th is a Sunday. Are things closed on Sunday? Is it worth it to try to go to Pisa and see the sights or will they be closed. We have a small group: Village of Lari and Tuscan Farmhouse booked but I am not sure this will be open on a Sunday. We also booked Florence for the Saturday but not Pisa. Would it be best to try them both in a single day? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "sights" in Pisa I assume you mean the Leaning Tower and the Field of Miracles (where the tower is located). Yes, the Tower is open on Sunday July 14 from 9am until 10pm, but be aware that you have to buy a ticket in advance if you want to climb it (not yet available for July):(https://www.opapisa.it/en/tickets/buy/ ) The other sites in the Field of Miracles (Campo dei Miracoli) are also open, including the Baptistery and Cathedral, although if services are being held, there may be periods when you cannot enter the Cathedral. Both of these are also work a look if you're going to be there. I have no idea about the tour you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pretty national park and schedules on Sunday are the same than on weekdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trains can be packed, during the high season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, but I am afraid, with ferry boats I bet I could only visit no more than two ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are in Riomaggiore, which is the closest to La Spezia, you can decide whether to return by train or ferry depending on how much time you have. In that way you visit four villages. On a longer day, you could get off the train in Corniglia, then train to Monterosso and ferry back as above. Like that you visit all five villages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjctc Posted May 6 #7 Share Posted May 6 Would i just buy train or ferry tickets as i need them? Any food suggestions in CT? This sounds like something we would enjoy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alserrod Posted May 7 #8 Share Posted May 7 I guess I will buy tickets in advance (maybe last night) just to avoid queues in the station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
