I Read That The Queues For The Leaning Tower Can Be Up To 2 Hours


I Am Visiting Next Month And Wondered If You Get To Avoid The Queues By Buying The Tickets In Advance Online?



Any Advice From Anyone Whos Visited?

If you decide you can't climb any further up the Tower,is there a way
of opting out and climbing back down?

We're going to Pisa on Mon 21st Sept arriving at 9.30am and leaving Thurs 24th Sept at 22:15 so we have four whole days.

Obviously want to see the tower and go up, was thinking of buying tickets when we arrive on Monday for another day and we are staying in Marina di Pisa so would like to have a lazy beach day.

What others things can you suggest we do/see? We would like to hire moped bikes if possible if not we'll get bus/train around.

Also what is an average price for meals in Pisa? I am really looking forward to trying some traditional Italian food :-)

Hello,

What is the best way to go there on Sunday?

I hope someone can help me.

HI We will reach pisa on saturday midnight and have hotel reservation near pisa leaning tower. IN morning we have to see pisa leaning tower. And then catch the flight at 12:00 afternoon from Pisa florence PSA airport. Is it possible or we should skip the plan to see pisa leaning tower :(

Hi,
We are planning to visit Pisa end of September.
If we plan to be in Pisa around 2 PM, do you think we can see Pisa to a decent extent from 2 PM?
Will it become dark early in end of September?
Or do you advice me to be in Pisa early morning.
As we are planning to spend first half of the day in Florence, we can be in Pisa only at 2 PM and we need to catch our return flight next day at 12PM.
So please advice us if this is OK and what all best places in Pisa I can visit from 2 PM until next day 10AM?

What is the name of the train station (trenitalia-train intercity) in Pisa that is close to the Pisa International Airport Galileo Galilei that takes me to La Spezia?

hi

flying to pisa for a few days could someone tell me a bus to catch from the airport to my hotel which is within 200 metre of the leaning tower and can I buy a ticket at the airport.

thanks for any help

Hi all, I need a suggestion.

My wife and myself are heading for a trip to Italy during Sept-2009. We are forced to keep it short, so we'd be having two days for Florence and Tuscany.

Here is our itinerary:

.....
Day 3: Venice
Day 4: Early morning train from Venice to Florence, reach Florence by 10 a.m. or so, check in at the hotel, spend the whole day in Florence
Day 5: Pisa and Tuscany. We have to reach Rome by late evening.
Day 6: Morning return flight to US

Now, regarding day 5, how do you suggest to make it the best? We will go to see the tower ofcourse, and then? Should we keep our luggage in Florence, roam about and be back by afternoon? Or we should check in somewhere else (Pisa etc), spend the whole day sightseeing and head for Rome in the evening?

We are equally interested in history and nature, so feel free to suggest something.

Thanks
Joydeep

Hi There,

I am going to visit Pisa from 22th till the 24th of August. I am looking for a very cheap place to sleep. A hostel for example. I have found now a place that cost me 110 euro for 2 persons for 2 nights. Is it possible to find a cheaper place?

I hope any one can help me.

Thank you,

Manny

Hi everyone

I have been reading all the fantastic tips on travelling by bus/train to the leaning tower. I wondered however, when catching the train from Pisa Centrale to Pisa San Rossore, what the destination on the departures board will say (as probably San Rossore will not be the train's ultimate destination), so what destination should I look for on the departure board? It would be great if someone can answer this question as my knowledge of Italian is pretty useless
and I want to try and make sure I have the journey/s planned as much as poss before we arrive.

Laura and Ben

I have another question on Pisa if anyone would be kind enough to answer it.

Which method of transport from Florence to Pisa (bus or train) would leave me nearest to the Leaning Tower?

Are the bus and the train stations in the same place (like many cities) or are they in different areas of Pisa?

Is there a regular bus service from Pisa bus or train station, to the Piazza de Miracoil?

How often does the bus go and return to Pisa Airport.

Thanks again

Lucy

Hello,

Do you have to book to climb the pisa´s tower?

I am looking for a budget accomodation in town. Could you recommend one?

Thanks.

I read about in the Pisa forum here that the train fare from Pisa to Firenze is about 5.6 Euro and takes about an hour, but when I checked the schedule on http://www.raileurope.ca/, the price quoted is CAD 63 which is about 40 Euros (2nd class) and it also takes around an hour. Why is there such a big difference? Which one is correct? Are there different type of trains? Or is there a different town named Pisa and Firenze?

I am confused.

Hi,

I will be in Pisa on 3rd July. I have just tried to get tickets to Leaning Tower but unfortunately none available. So was wondering if it is a long way to Lucca from Pisa and how would I get there.

Thanks Connie

Hi

Does anyone know if you have to pre-book tickets for the leaning tower?

I have a Thomas Cook travel book (published 2006) which says that you must either book online, or at the booking office in person at least 15 days before you plan to visit.

Is this information still correct? Is it not possible to just turn up and buy a ticket or is it advisable to book online, as I would imagine the queues are big in summer???

Are the tickets timed?

Thank you

Lorraine

Could someone please advise how far the Leaning tower of pisa is from the Pisa PSA Airport? And can you catch a taxi and cost please.

I read about people being fined for driving in the restricted traffic zones in Pisa. Is there any web site that details the restricted areas and the time? Is it restricted to traffic 24 hours a day or only during specific period?

Where is a good place to park? Is it safe to leave luggage in the car? We will be on the way from Cinque Terre to Florence and just want to stop by Pisa to see the leaning tower. What is the best way to do so?

Thanks,
Raymond

Hi, How long does it take to drive by car from Pisa to Florence? Is it too far/expensive to get a cab?
