No trip to Tuscany Italy is complete without seeing this beautiful and famous building. Located right on Piazza Dei Miracoli, you'll find plenty of streets to get lost in. This is another express visit to an important part of Italy but the most important thing to see is the leaning tower of Pisa. As you walk from the parking to here and your stop for lunch, you'll be able to the most important sites of the city. Just like Florence, you'll want to plan a trip back to see the rest.

Make a stop to stretch your legs and try some cheese. This town is known best for its Parmigiano Reggiano, the only place where it is authentically produced. Most tours are done in the morning but any cheese store will be more than happy to explain and show you the variety available in the area. Don't just stop in one cheese place, walk around town for a few minutes to see the rest of Parma. Plus it's the best souvenir to take home with you after spending time in the region.
