No, the tower follows varied timings that change based on daylight hours, usually changing monthly.

Yes, the tower is generally open year-round, including most public holidays. However, hours may be reduced on Christmas and New Year’s Day.

It's a good idea to skip visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa on public holidays as the attraction tends to get very crowded. Waiting lines can get long and you might have to see it in a hurried atmosphere.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa sees the heaviest crowds between 10am and noon. For a quieter experience, consider visiting early in the morning before 10am or later in the afternoon when the crowds begin to thin out.

You should arrive at least 15 minutes before the time on your ticket for security screening and bag storage, as late arrivals may lose their slot.

If you’re on a budget, it is better that you visit the tower during the spring in April and May. Not only are the crowds lesser at this time of the year, but the tickets are also moderately priced. Similarly, visiting after September through November might also mean reduced prices on stay, travel, etc.

Night visits are occasionally available during summer or for special events, but they’re rare. Regular closing time is typically around 8pm.

The Cathedral follows slightly different hours and opens usually an hour later to the tower. If your ticket includes both, plan the Cathedral visit either after your tower climb for convenience.
