Top places to visit

1. Leaning Tower

Photograph and climb to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one of Europe’s most famous structures and one of Italy’s national icons. The tower was built to serve as the campanile to the Duomo behind it, although its awkward leaning angle has caused the tower to upstage the cathedral. Once you’ve taken your photographs, explore the rest of the Piazza dei Miracoli to learn about the history and architecture of the Leaning Tower and its neighbouring buildings.
