The Leaning Tower is part of a larger architectural complex, the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you love to explore cultural landmarks like Mithila did, we're sure you'd love to explore the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta at the heart of the square to admire the Romanesque architecture with ornate interiors and marble pillars and The Baptistery of St. John, another architectural gem that offers an incredible view from the rooftop.

How To Get There

By Train:

If you're already in Italy, travelling by train is one of the easiest and most scenic ways to reach Pisa. Italy's well-connected rail network makes it convenient to visit Pisa from major cities like Florence, Rome, or Milan. Once you arrive at Pisa Centrale station, we recommend taking the local buses (Lines 1, 4, 21, and LAM Rossa) that run from Pisa Centrale to the Leaning Tower, stopping at Piazza dei Miracoli. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes.

By Road:

If you prefer more flexibility, renting a car is a great option for exploring Tuscany. Pisa is well-connected by road, and driving through the Tuscan countryside is a beautiful experience. A drive from Milan or Rome is approx 3.5 hours and just one hour from Florence. For budget-friendly options, long-route buses offer convenient commutes.

Your Travel Guide To Explore Pisa And The Leaning Tower

1. Climb The Leaning Tower Of Pisa

Of course, no visit would be complete without climbing the tower itself. But don't let the tilt frighten you, the law of gravity is contested swiftly by the structure allowing tourists to climb it safely using the long spiral staircase and enjoy the overview of the city and the Tuscan surroundings. Be sure to book your tickets in advance, as spots are limited which sell out quickly, and lines can be long, especially during the peak tourist season. You can purchase tickets online, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
