Drive through the lovely Tuscan countryside en route to the historic town of Pisa, located on the banks of the Arno River. Enjoy a short trolley ride that takes you directly to Miracle Square, next to the famous Leaning Tower. During World War II, much of Pisa was destroyed by German and Allied bombing, however the cathedral, baptistery and famous leaning tower escaped unharmed. Arriving at the Field of Miracles, join your guide for a climb up the 294 steps and discover the world famous Leaning Tower. Built to display the wealth of Pisa, the bell tower began leaning during construction due to the foundation settling unevenly as builders reached the fourth story. The builders compensated for the angle but the tower continued its tilt. Today, the tower leans 14 degrees from perpendicular. Continue down to the open air square for a brief explanation of the Cathedral and the Baptistery. You’ll have some free time to browse for souvenirs and gifts at the many stalls lining the walk to the Field of Miracles.
Need to Know:
Note: Participants must be at least 8 years of age to climb the Tower. Under-18s may enter only in the company of an adult. No bags are allowed for the Tower visit for security reasons. Italian authorities have strict limitations on the amount of persons allowed in per hour/day, and time limitations make it impossible to offer the visit to all the guests at the same time. Tickets will be booked in advance, they will indicate the exact date and time of the visit and are not refundable. Guests who are planning to visit religious sites during free time, please dress appropriately; no bare shoulders or shorts are allowed. Guests who go ashore do so with the understanding that they will be mixing with members of the general public.
