Headout charge more than the official website and the tickets are not available immediately like the official website, so you pay more for a worse experience.

All In, a very special place. Very impressive and well worth seeing. It is definitely worth a visit. The museums are very modern and interesting. At the end of the day, the walk on the fortress is a nice way to end the day.

Everything worked well. There was supposed to be a ticket redemption point between the Baptistery and the cathedral. As there wasn't one, we went straight to the entrance of the cathedral with our online ticket and got in without any problems. We found this information a little confusing. The monumental complex is very interesting and very impressive.

When I checked the website, it mentioned that only children above the age of 8 can climb the tower. When buying the tickets via Headout, it stated that only 11-99 requires a ticket. My child is 9-year-old. Hence, I only bought two tickets, one for me and the other for my wife. I emailed the headout support team to confirm whether or not my child would need a ticket. I was informed that my child didn't need one. When I got there, it turned out that anyone climbing the tower will need a ticket if they are 8 and above.

We don't think it's OK if the ticket only allows a free visit to the toilet. After all, there is so much to see with the ticket that you can spend the whole day there. And I don't know anyone who only has to go to the toilet once a day. The friendliness of the staff is very poor.

Loved going up the leaning tower. Views were amazing. Museums were ok. Not really my thing but there were some interesting historical information. The main buildings I really wanted visit was the cathedral & Baptistery, but sadly they were not open to the public that day as there was a religious ceremony taking place. Shame as I had paid the full amount to visit all 6 buildings which is quite expensive to only be able to visit 4 of these.

Our guide should be in Italian, it was the only one available when I booked. However, our guide also speeks English and this change that she did in the last minute was awesome (my husband and I we are Brazilian, we don't speek Italian but we speek English). It saved our tour. Besides that, she had great sense of humour and gave us a lot of information about Pisa and all the monuments. We rlhqd a great tome with her!!!

Year opened: 1979
Founder: Established by the Opera della Primaziale Pisana, the body responsible for the care and preservation of the Piazza dei Miracoli monuments.
Must-see highlights: View the preparatory drawings once hidden beneath Camposanto’s famous frescoes, revealing the artistic process step by step.

Pisa Leaning Tower and Cathedral Guided Tour
What's to see inside?
Sinopie fresco drafts
These original underdrawings, made with reddish pigment on plaster, were used by artists as guides for the Camposanto frescoes. You’ll see works by renowned 14th-century masters like Francesco Traini and Benozzo Gozzoli.
Interpretation panels & restoration stories
Detailed panels explain how sinopie were removed and restored post-WWII, after a fire damaged many artworks. These stories deepen appreciation for the skill and care behind each preservation effort.
Architectural layout & lighting
The museum’s minimalist design allows focused viewing. Natural lighting and clear displays bring out the fine lines and detail in the centuries-old sketches.

Best time to visit:
- Best time of the day: Early morning or late afternoon, when the museum is quieter and natural light enhances the visibility of the sinopie.
- Best season: Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), when the Square is less crowded and the cooler weather makes for a more comfortable museum experience.

Frequently asked questions about Sinopie Museum tickets
Is entry to the museum included in all Pisa combo tickets?
Access to the Sinopie Museum is included only with select combo or all-in-one tickets. Some tickets may offer the option to upgrade and add museum entry.
Can I visit the Sinopie Museum on its own?
Technically, yes—but it’s best experienced as part of the Pisa Monumental Complex, especially when paired with a visit to the Camposanto. Seeing the sketches and the final frescoes in sequence adds a layer of meaning that’s often lost when visiting in isolation.
Do I need to book in advance?
It is recommended to book in advance, especially during high season when combo tickets can sell out.
How much time should I allocate for the museum?
Around 30 to 45 minutes is ideal for a relaxed, informative visit.
