Our Best Experiences Together 5 : Climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Climbing the tower was an experience in itself. As we made our way up the narrow spiral staircase, we could actually feel the unevenness of the steps beneath our feet. The effect of the tower's famous lean seemed to shift from one side to the other as we circled our way upwards. https://slsongtravel.blogspot.com/2022/12/leaning-tower-of-pisa.html

Our timed entry to the Leaning Tower was at 4 pm

The Best Places to Visit 5 : Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles)

The Square of Miracles consists of four great medieval buildings: the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Pisa Cathedral, Pisa Baptistery, and the Camposanto Monumentale (cemetery). The entire complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We first visited the square during our first trip to Italy in June 2004. We returned with our children 18 years later, as we wanted them to see and experience for themselves what we believe is one of the most beautiful places in Italy.
