OPA: Torre di Pisa
Description
More commonly known for its architectural cock-up rather than its original function the "leaning-tower" is almost certainly the first thing people will mention when you mention Pisa. Today, back from the brink following work throughout the 1990s, which has secured it at least another 300 years, the tower has strict limits on the numbers who can visit. Booking ahead is recommended at busy times, but late in the afternoon, once all the day trippers have headed back to Florence, you can usually get a ticket pretty quickly. Being at the top of the tower at Sunset makes for an excellent experience. The climb up is surreal; one moment you are hauling yourself up steps that shouldn't be that steep. The next you're effectively climbing on the flat as you make you way in and out of the lean. From it's top the tower provides stunning views over the whole of the town.
