You’ll need about 2–3 hours to see the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, Baptistery, and Camposanto. If you're climbing the tower and want to explore at a relaxed pace or grab a bite nearby, plan for 4–5 hours total.
It's recommended to book your tickets at least 7–15 days in advance, especially during peak seasons (April to October). Time slots are limited and tend to sell out quickly, so early booking ensures you get your preferred date and time.

The tower has a large door that appears to be tilted because of the tower’s lean. Once you enter, you will have to wait for you turn to scale the spiral stairs to the top of the tower.
You get a fixed time slot of 30 minutes to scale the tower, head to the top, and descend to its bottom. It depends upon your speed but on an average its a 7 to 10 minute of ascension.
Unfortunately, Leaning Tower of Pisa tickets will not be refunded if they are canceled. However, you can adjust/reschedule the time slot up to two hours before your visit. Tickets to the other monuments in the Square of Miracles can be canceled 24 hours before the experience begins.
The Leaning Tower is a popular tourist attraction and is busy year round, but visiting during the off-peak months like January to March or October to mid-December might mean fewer crowds. It is also recommended that you visit during the first half of the morning or just before the tower closes for a smoother experience.
If you are a parent/guardian who wishes to go up the tower, please make personal arrangements for your child as children below the age of 8 cannot scale the Leaning Tower. Parents can take turns to watch their child or even take them to neighboring monuments in the Square of Miracles, where they are allowed entry.
Don't worry if you can't ascend the tower; there's still a lot you can do once you're at the Square of Miracles. You can visit the other monuments like the Cathedral, Baptistry and Camposanto. You can also visit the other two museums in the same square, the Sinopie Museum and the Opera del Duomo Museum.
Certain areas of the lawn are accessible to the public, whereas certain areas aren't. Please read the signs carefully.
