Pisa and Lucca by Campervan
Quick summary: Pisa and Lucca, a little over an hour west of Florence, pair well on a campervan trip. Pisa’s Square of Miracles holds the Leaning Tower, cathedral, Baptistery and Camposanto, and a campsite lies within walking distance of the tower. Lucca, half an hour away, is encircled by Renaissance walls you can walk or cycle around. Both have ZTL centers, so park outside and walk in, leaving your campervan or motorhome in a lot or at a campsite.
