"Pisa’s famous leaning tower (the campanile of the adjacent Duomo) is part of the Piazza del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also includes the Duomo, baptistery and cemetery. Begun in 1173, the tower began to lean almost immediately thanks to soil subsidence. To try to halt the tilt, cables and counterweights have been inserted. A spiral staircase with nearly 300 steps leads to the top of this unique, iconic building."

Perhaps the most iconic building in Italy so it is understandably busy but if you go in February and book the 09.00 slot online, get there at 08.45 to claim the front spot in the line and then when the gate opens race up the steps, you too could be first to the top and claim a wonderful few minutes of sole occupancy. There is not a lot of space at the top so it gets awkward avoiding other people and getting the all important photo shots, particularly as the lean is very pronounced and it feels very weird. Thanks to brilliant engineers the lean is corrected a little bit and stabilised so we can continue to enjoy this unique building.

A truly unique and beautiful tower with a fascinating history. I highly recommend visiting the inside and climbing the 250 stairs to experience the spirit of the tower. The views from the top are amazing! Just remember to arrive on time and avoid bringing bags or other items, as there are lockers available beside the ticket office.

An iconic landmark you must see! The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous landmarks in the world, and it’s definitely worth a visit. The surroundings are beautiful, with historic buildings and a charming atmosphere. Climbing to the top offers a stunning view of the city and is a unique experience. I recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. And don’t forget to take the classic “holding up the tower” photo!

The tower is a must see when you are in the area. The grounds are in excellent condition. Make sure that before you take any pictures you have AI turned off on your phone. I noticed that my phone was automatically adjusting for the tilt of the tower. Be prepared for the bells to go off at the top of the hour. We were fortunate enough to go up at noon and had a loud cacophony of bells going off all at once. Take your time and enjoy the scenery once you get up to the top. This is a beautiful climb and a breathtaking view once you get there.

It’s a must when you are in Pisa ! You can climb on top but be careful because the stairs are narrow and may be slippery. Buying tickets in advance is mandatory but if you are lucky you can buy tickets near the attraction. ✅I recommend visiting this place and plan a whole day to visit the perimeter.

I visited on a Sunday morning during the off-season and was pleasantly surprised by the light crowd. I bought tower tickets in advance, so the wait was only a couple minutes. The walk from the central train station was easy, even with a sick 8-year-old in tow. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience. Definitely a great check off the bucket list!

Bought tickets in advance. They have a bag check at no additional cost. It's definitely worth going up the tower. Beautiful views. Take your time. Pace yourself. Lots of steps. Can take breaks along the way up or down. They time the tickets, so it's not crowded going up or down. When you get to the top, you can sit and enjoy the views for as long as you want.

Pisa tower, especially during the night, is absolutely beautiful, making it a fantastic experience. While you don’t need to spend a lot of time in this place, a visit to the iconic leaning tower is definitely a must. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds, as there are plenty of perfect spots for taking pictures. Plus, you can get really close to the tower without any entrance fees. Also, I found a souvenir store market near the gate which offers cheaper prices compared to other tourist areas in Italy.
