Not far from the Campeggio Torre Pendente and within walking distance in a few minutes are the most famous sights of Tuscany. The free-standing bell tower (campanile) from the 12th century has become world-famous for its crooked position. Its architecture, 55 meters high and made of Carrara marble, clearly stands out over the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery. To the north, Camposanto Monumentale borders on an imposing cemetery and rounds off the old town of the Tuscan city of Pisa, which is well worth seeing.
Also worth seeing is a replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as well as a 14th-century prayer house honoring the Crown of Thorns and keeping a piece of thorns, situated on the banks of the Arno.

Directly on the Adriatic Sea lies the Lagoon of Venice with its metropolitan metropolis La Serenissima (the Most Serene), which is one of the most visited cities in Europe and whose most famous means of transport is the gondola.
Good ferry connections (vaporetto) also take you to the other islands of Burano (known for textile craftsmanship and the colorful old town) and Murano (known for glass production). Marina di Venezia is only a few minutes away from the ferry terminal Punta Sabbioni (https://www.veneziaunica.it/de...), in the summer months a shuttle runs.

In the Tuscan capital, a detour to the Galleria degli Uffizi (https://www.uffizi.it/) is a must, which has housed the most famous art collection in the world since its beginnings around 1580. The Arno metropolis also has a lot to offer in other respects: Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio and, of course, the magnificent cathedral. Tip: The tastiest and most expensive ice cream in Italy can be found on the Ponte Vecchio.

Not far from the Campeggio Torre Pendente and within walking distance in a few minutes are the most famous sights of Tuscany. The free-standing bell tower (campanile) from the 12th century has become world-famous for its crooked position. Its architecture, 55 meters high and made of Carrara marble, clearly stands out over the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery. To the north, Camposanto Monumentale borders on an imposing cemetery and rounds off the old town of the Tuscan city of Pisa, which is well worth seeing.
Also worth seeing is a replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as well as a 14th-century prayer house honoring the Crown of Thorns and keeping a piece of thorns, situated on the banks of the Arno. Unfortunately, today's chapel is not open to the public. To do this, leave the Piazza dei Miracoli around the Torre Pendente and walk about 15 minutes through the wonderful old town to the banks of the Arno.

The World Heritage Site on the Ligurian coast owes its name to the five neighboring centuries-old coastal villages, known for their colorful houses and terraced vineyards on the steep slopes: Monterosso, Manarola and Riomaggiore are the best known. Fishing boats are anchored in the harbors and the trattorias serve seafood specialties and pesto, the region's famous sauce.

More by chance we discovered this half-shaded car park right on the shore of Lake Maggiore and just a few minutes' walk from the boat docks from which the Borromean Islands can be explored.
Basically, there is nothing wrong with using this as a parking space for one night and we will put this into practice on our next visit.

The jagged and wooded rocky panorama accompanies us on the passage of the Centovalli (engl. hundred valleys). Not far from Malesco stands the Santuario della Madonna del Sangue, on the site of which, according to tradition, a miracle happened in 1494 when the fresco of a Virgin Mary, struck by a stone, began to bleed.

Locarno is a great city with a long promenade along the Lago Maggiore and an interesting old town. For just a few SFR and for free at night you can stand freely near the thermal baths on the shore of Lake Maggiore, just minutes from the old town.
