There’s actually only one great reason masses come to Pisa, and that’s to see the renowned leaning tower. Thankfully it’s very close to the main train station, so you can drop your handbags in a locker and mount a bus for the short ride to the pristine square around the Pisa’s leaning tower and church. The Leaning Tower in Pisa is actually just the bell tower for the nearby cathedral, which is quite astounding in its own right. Visits of the cathedral and the baptistery (behind the church) are recommended, and cheap in comparison to the tower itself. The tower is sometimes open for ascending and sometimes not, based upon its stability, and it’s a good idea to book tickets beforehand if you’re eager to climb it.
