The basics
Due to the Leaning Tower of Pisa's global renown and unstable subsoil, tickets to the 12th-century tower are strictly limited and visits are timed; booking in advance is a must, and skip-the-line tickets are highly recommended.
All Pisa walking tours cover the Leaning Tower and often include other sites in Piazza dei Miracoli—including the sublime white-marble Pisa Baptistry, Duomo, and Sinopie Museum)—and Knights' Square (Piazza dei Cavalieri). Day trips to Pisa generally depart from Florence or Rome; travelers short on time can combine a visit to Pisa with whistle-stop tours of Lucca, Siena, and San Gimignano, all of which travel through the serene Tuscan countryside.

Things to know before you go
Book skip-the-line tickets in advance to avoid disappointment and dodge the long lines at the on-site ticket office.
Opt for a private tour of Pisa, Tuscany, or the Cinque Terre to travel with a tour guide who will customize your itinerary.
Children under the age of 8 are not permitted to ascend the tower.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not accessible for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
How to get there
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located on the Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square), also known as the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) in Pisa, Italy. From Pisa Centrale train station, take the bus to the tower. From Florence, trains depart for Pisa about every 30 minutes and take 1 hour. From Rome, take a direct train to Florence and connect to Pisa.
When to get there
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is open daily from morning to evening, though exact hours differ from month to month. If visiting in June, expect large crowds and festive euphoria in equal measure—La Luminara di San Ranieri celebrations take place on June 16, illuminating the city with thousands of candles and fireworks.
What to do in Pisa
While the tilted tower is undeniably the city of Pisa's most well-known attraction, the Tuscan cultural capital has plenty to offer curious visitors exploring on their own or with a guided tour. Stop by the Romanesque Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral; visit the beautiful and well-curated Cathedral Museum; and don't miss the lush Orto Botanico, supposedly the first university botanical garden in Europe.
