I am trying to obtain tickets for the Tower of Pisa but have been unsuccessful. We are leaving soon and I wanted to pre-arange this to save time. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately you can't reserve tickets in advance for the Leaning Tower of Pisa - the office told me last week that they hope to have the service started by the middle of June but they have be promising it every month for the past 6!<BR>Look at the News box here:<BR>http://www.italywithus.biz/

Not to worry. Just returned yesterday from two weeks in Italy including a day trip to Pisa from Siena. Arrived around 9:00 or 9:15 and got tickets for the 9:50 enty to the Torre. Would try to get there early as possible. Big crowds, but many are bus tours and none of them climbed the Torre. Hot and sweaty climb, but an experience not to be missed. The view is incredible.

Just back from Europe myself. I agree the best thing to do is show up in the morning and get a time. I climbed the tower and had wonderful views. I did Pisa as a brief trip - about a couple of hours. <BR><BR>Also be aware that saving time is sometimes not possible in Italy! Fantastic people but expect that sometimes things run slower than they do in the US.

Thanks so much for the info. about the tickets. I feel so much better now and am looking forward to seeing and climbing it!!
