You’ll have the chance to take the classic “holding up the tower” photo and stroll through the historic square at your own pace.

*The visit takes around 40 minutes and there are around 250 steps. There is no elevator. Children under 8 years old are not allowed to climb the tower.

Moreover, Pisa is known not only for the tower, but there are also other spots to visit before heading to our next stop.
