Leaning Tower of Pisa

Let’s be real—no trip to Pisa is complete without that iconic Leaning Tower pic! 😎 The tower is even more surreal in person: sparkling under the sun, surrounded by classic Western architecture, and giving off epic outdoor vibes. Head straight to the Leaning Tower of Pisa (Piazza del Duomo, 56126 Pisa PI, Italy) and soak up that architectural wonder with a close-up look—from every angle, it’s pure culture goals. The opening hours shift a bit, so plan ahead: from Oct 25-Nov 2, it’s open 09:00-19:00; Nov 3-Dec 21, open 09:00-18:00; Dec 22-Dec 31, back to 09:00-19:00. I highly recommend showing up early to avoid peak crowds—the lines can get wild and the best snaps happen before noon. Bring some water and a hat; Pisa’s sun doesn’t mess around! If you want to climb the tower, pre-book your ticket online on trip.com to skip the queue. Getting around Pisa is super chill—Piazza del Duomo is walkable from the train station and most city spots. Grab a slice of pizza and a gelato from any nearby cafe for that true Italian flavor. Just keep some small cash handy for street food stands and souvenirs. No advanced visa tricks here for most travelers, but do check entry requirements if you’re coming from outside the EU. #LeaningTower #PisaSunshine #TravelItaly #tripdotcom #CultureChaser
