Pisa Day Trip from Florence — Leaning Tower & Campo dei Miracoli
Florence, Italy
About This Activity
The Piazza dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) in Pisa groups four of medieval Italy's finest buildings: the Leaning Tower (294 steps, €18 admission), the Cathedral, Baptistery, and Campo Santo cemetery — all white Pisan Romanesque marble. The lean is 3.99 degrees off vertical and closes slowly each year from counterweight engineering. Trains from Florence Santa Maria Novella run every 30 minutes (55 minutes, from €8). Budget 3-4 hours at the piazza.
* Campo Santo cemetery * Leaning Tower of Pisa * Pisa Cathedral * Town of Pisa
Seasonal note: Book Tower tickets online — sells out weeks ahead in summer
