Buy it the night before and use it right away the next day. It’s a little more expensive than onsite, but it saves you time in queuing to buy tickets. It’s a good deal!

The tour was well paced with ample of time at each stop to explore. Lunch was a highlight with wine tasting of 4 different types of wine. Our guide was humourous, overall a wonderful day out!

it was extremely challenging to take a photo at the pisa tour as everyone is doing the "signature pisa tower'' pose. I preferred lucca. wished I had more time to shop there!!

There was a long line at the entrance to the Leaning Tower, but when I called out to the staff checking tickets near the entrance and showed them the priority entry code, they let me in right away! Before entering, I was instructed to leave all my luggage, including my small bag, in a special locker. It was a little far from the Leaning Tower, but it was a comfortable distance. The lockers could be used for free just by holding up the code on the admission ticket, and there was a charging cord inside, so it was very convenient! When climbing the Leaning Tower, gravity feels very strange. You have to climb a long staircase to the top, but there are spaces here and there where you can take a break, and it's safe because it's designed not to get in the way of other tourists. The view from the top was amazing, and the breeze felt great!

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Leaning Tower of Pisa

The main attraction, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stands at 55.86 meters on the low side and 56.67 meters on the high side. Visitors can climb its 296 steps to enjoy panoramic views of Pisa from the top.

Pisa Cathedral

Adjacent to the tower, the Pisa Cathedral is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see.

Pisa Baptistry

The Pisa Baptistry, another architectural gem in the Piazza del Duomo, is known for its impressive acoustics and beautiful design.

Culture and History

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is part of the Piazza del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction began in 1173 and was completed in 1372. The tower's lean started during construction due to soft ground. It has survived numerous earthquakes and was stabilized between 1993 and 2001.

Local Cuisine

Pisa offers a delightful culinary experience. Must-try dishes include 'pappa al pomodoro' (tomato and bread soup), 'ribollita' (a hearty vegetable soup), and 'cacciucco' (a traditional fish stew). Enjoy these dishes at local trattorias for an authentic taste of Tuscany.

Architectural Marvel

Built in the 12th century with an inadequate foundation, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has surprisingly stood the test of time. Recent restorations have reduced its tilt, but the lean is still noticeable and fascinating.

Cultural Significance

The Leaning Tower is not just a tourist attraction; it's a symbol of architectural resilience and historical significance. The Piazza dei Miracoli is a UNESCO World Heritage site, adding to its cultural importance.

Photo Opportunities

The Leaning Tower offers endless creative photo opportunities. Whether you're pretending to hold it up or pushing it down, it's a fun and iconic photo spot.

Cultural and Historical Significance

The Leaning Tower of Niles was built between 1931 and 1934 by Robert Ilg to conceal a water tower for his park. It has since become a symbol of architectural ingenuity and cultural heritage. In 2019, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its importance in American history and architecture.
