The tickets can be purchased from a website, www. When it was the appointed time to climb the tower, my friend changed her mind and I was on my own. I had not anticipated the degree of strictness that is adhered to with regard to the appointment time.
I was five minutes late and almost was not allowed to go. To preserve the structure, the authorities allow only 30 people to ascend the tower every 30 minutes.
Since it takes approximately 10 minutes to ascend, and 10 to descend, this allows for a maximum of 10 minutes at the top. There are guides who enforce this, so be prepared with your camera to capture the awesome views without too much delay.
The other thing to know is that you are expected to pick up your tickets 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. Again if you are late be prepared to forfeit your time. Stay up to date with travel tips, local insights and all things Italy on our social channels!

There are several organized tours to visit Pisa and even other areas of beautiful Tuscany from Florence in the most comfortable way, let's see the best ones.
This organized half-day excursion to Pisa departing in the morning will take you to Pisa from Florence accompanied by a guide and other travelers for a tour of the city and to see its most emblematic monuments, with free time to walk around the must-see Piazza dei Miracoli on your own. This tour is the same as the previous one, with a half day guided tour of Pisa with entrance to the Tower of Pisa and the Cathedral. This option is very convenient if you feel like visiting the Tower but don't want to wait in the long queues at the entrance.
Climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa is worth it for the spectacular views that its viewpoint offers, although, keep in mind that to enjoy them you will have to climb spiral steps. In addition, you will have free time to explore other points of interest in Pisa, such as the Piazza dei Cavalieri and its oldest church, the Church of San Sisto.
If you have some extra time in Florence, I recommend that you take an excursion to see not only Pisa but take advantage of a combined tour of other locations and immerse yourself in the enchanting Tuscany. Very close to Pisa, there's a charming village called Lucca and that is often visited on the way to Pisa. This excursion to Lucca and Pisa from Florence will show you, with a guide, both places so that you can make the most of this day trip outside Florence.
One of the things that make Pisa a pleasant and attractive city for its visitors is that its main points of interest are located in its famous Piazza dei Miracoli. In Lucca you will explore its Cathedral, the great Piazza dell 'Anfiteatro and the tasting of a buccellato, a sweet cake typical of this town and with which you will put the finishing touch to your getaway.
Lucca is also home to an impressive collection of Etruscan ruins and Renaissance architecture. This great excursion to Tuscany will transport you from the bustling Florentine streets to the vineyards and hills of the spectacular Tuscan countryside , touring some of its greatest gems: Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti, and Monteriggioni.
You will enjoy a 13th-century fortified town, Monteriggioni , with eleven impressive towers and surrounded by medieval walls. Experts say the famous tower at Pisa will lean for at least another years. It may even stay upright well, almost upright forever. That's all thanks to a restoration project, which brought the tower back from the brink of collapse a decade ago.
