Leaning Tower of Pisa
We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most remarkable architectural structures from medieval Europe, known worldwide for its nearly four-degree lean. It is located in the Italian town of Pisa, more specifically in the Piazza dei Miracoli and is an unmissable attraction when visiting the region.
Although it was designed to be perfectly vertical, it started to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure’s weight, and it worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 51⁄2 degrees. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.
Plan your visit
The first free car park is located outside the city walls but within an easy walking distance from both the center and the Square of Miracles. It’s a park-and-ride lot near the stadium (on Via Pietrasantina) and it is completely free!
As a general rule, try not to eat near the Leaning Tower where prices are high and quality low. Head instead to the central area (5-10 minutes walking from Piazza dei Miracoli): you can find very good, cheap restaurants there. For example, there are excellent, friendly and reasonably priced cafeterias in the busy small vegetable market, Piazza delle Vettovaglie. Also Via San Martino, close to the south bank of the river, offers some places with good quality and low price.
