Tips for an Italian tour of the Tower of Pisa
Before the climb
- Before climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa
- Book tickets in advance because they go fast!
- Leave your luggage and bulky items at the checkroom, about 50 meters from the tower, before starting the climb.
- Wear shoes with a good level of grip because the steps are slippery and worn in some areas.
- Children under the age of 8 are prohibited from climbing the tower.
During the climb
- The total number of steps is 273, but the first viewing deck is reached after climbing 251 steps.
- It takes about 30-40 minutes to complete the climb.
- The stairs are wide enough for two people to climb side by side, so leave some room for people who are descending. Do take breaks now and then to catch your breath if necessary.
- During the ascent you may feel a slight loss of balance. This is due to the incline and is not a problem to worry about.
Towards the end
- At the top you can see the seven bells tuned to a single musical note. You can only see the transwalled section of a skylight that allows you to look downward to the base of the structure.
- The view of Piazza dei Miracoli from the top of the tower is really special, so take lots of photos.
- After reaching the top, you will use the same stairs to descend.
