I went to Pisa, while I was staying in Florence. It's approximately 50 minutes by train, and the train runs every hour or so. Be aware that the train looks horrible, compared to the fast train that connects Milano-Firenze-Rome-Napoli. Once you get to the Pisa station, it still looks gloomy, and you need to walk about 20 minutes before you... More

The crowd is massive already early morning. If you don't have pre-purchased ticket, there is a small chance to go up in the tower on the same day in main season. More

We were driving from Casarza Ligure to Lucca and took a quick side trip to see the tower. We were able to park on the street near the tower and walked over to take the obligatory photos that all tourists seem to take. We did not climb the tower, but to me, Pisa is a quick stop on the way... More

So much has been said and written about it. I was disappointed by the fact that it is surrounded by buildings and houses and very touristy. I guess that has to be expected. More

The tower is stunning, and it leans quite a lot! We first saw it on a rainy cold evening, with few tourists, and it was gorgeous despite the weather! We returned the next day in glorious sunshine, and it sparkled in the sun, very clean and shiny. There were a lot of tourists, and people trying to sell things, which... More

This time we had the time (and access) to walk up to the top. That is a fairly energetic climb up the tilted tower steps and really can mess up one's sense of balance. But the view from the top is worth it. More
