Leaning Tower of Pisa questions
Can I visit Pisa from La Spezia port?
Yes. It is about an hour away, so Pisa fits into a port day, often combined with Lucca or Florence on tours.
Is it worth climbing the Leaning Tower?
Yes, if you book a slot ahead. The tilt feels odd on the stairs and the views are good.
How long does it take to see Pisa?
Two to three hours is enough for most people.
