Tower of Pisa tickets: everything you need to know to organise your visit in 2023

If I asked you what the most iconic monument in Italy is, I am one hundred per cent sure that the Leaning Tower of Pisa would be on your list of Italy's most iconic monuments. How could you be wrong: it is one of the most visited and photographed monuments in the world, known everywhere and often associated with Made in Italy in every way. Although the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a very powerful symbol as a reference to our beloved Italy, yet many people do not know its history. Neither do they know the interesting things related to it, such as the reason for its slope, and are content with a selfie with its unmistakable backdrop. You can find it everywhere on social media with everyone trying their hand at holding it up. With this post we want to pay homage to a monument that we have been lucky enough to know since we were children because of its uniqueness. Sometimes we Italians take it for granted, but we all take a selfie with the Tower of Pisa in the background sooner or later. Why not try a funny pose in an attempt to hold it and not let it fall. Come and see the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The answer is yes, and about three million people a year experience this and actually do it. This way you will understand that you need to plan your ascent in advance, making even better use of the opportunity to skip the queue. On our website, in the Ticket section, you can find many ways to buy tickets for the Leaning Tower of Pisa, either to skip the queue or for a guided tour of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and the rest of the attractions that Piazza dei Miracoli offers. We recommend this because the queues can be very long and also because there is a limited number of people who can enter for security reasons.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is beautiful from below, have you ever stopped to admire it? Have you ever tried climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa on a sunny June afternoon, but also on any other day of the year? Let me tell you that the experience will be unique and enjoyable. But watch out for many small details, especially concerning safety. We will help you make the experience even more exciting. Get organised in good time and plan your visit to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and its ascent to the top. First you need to make a reservation. Tickets are available 16 days in advance, from the day you want to board, up to 45 days. This means that if things go wrong, tickets must be booked at least one and a half months in advance. Yes, you can go the same day to see if you can get tickets, but only do it if you like a gamble, we are rather sceptical.

Do you want to know the duration of the visit to the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Know that you have to show up at the agreed time, in fact show up at least 5 minutes earlier. Be on time... because the visit lasts only 30 minutes. This is no joke. We would like to inform you well, we found out that the visit lasts half an hour between the ascent and descent of the tower. That means 294 steps to climb in 30 minutes, a quick view and 294 steps to descend. Why is the visit so short? We asked ourselves that question. After all, if it takes you 10 minutes to climb 294 steps... and you don't take less time unless you're Spider-Man, and that 10 minutes or less to descend, you're left with 10 minutes to admire Pisa from above. Very little in my opinion. Time to take two photos and you have to come down again. I think the time is calculated this way because only 40 people at a time can go up the Leaning Tower and maybe they have decided to maximise the entries in those limited times. There is nothing wrong with the ticket being cheap. But rest assured that thanks to us you will be able to buy your ticket in advance and be ready for the experience. Practice climbing up and down the steps and enjoy the view, you will not be disappointed.
