based on 24145 reviews"The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an iconic building in Italy and a wonder in the history of world architecture. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually a separate bell tower of the Pisa Cathedral. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is more than 20 meters away from the Cathedral. The Leaning Tower overlooks each floor of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, with arches engraved on the walls on the bottom floor and a bell pavilion on the top floor. The experience of entering the Leaning Tower is very special. When you walk along a very narrow spiral ladder, you will have the illusion of being on the boat and feel dizzy. After arriving at the top of the tower, the view suddenly opened up. There is a clock tower on the top floor, but it is not allowed to ring. It is estimated that the resonance will affect the leaning tower. The leaning tower and the cathedral and the baptism hall are all good. Especially unexpectedly, the cemetery is also very quiet and beautiful, with many mottled murals and exquisite marble statues around. Trip.com The ticket is very convenient, you can use it directly with the electronic ticket, and the WC in the leaning tower should also use ticket, otherwise it will be 1 Euro one 😂"Pisa.Pisa City Center409m from downtown Pisa
No.8 of Best Things to Do in ItalyHighlights: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an iconic building in Italy and a wonder in the history of world architecture. It was selected as a world cultural heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually an independent bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa, located in the central square of Pisa, the Miracle Square. The square is full of people, and it is common for tourists to stretch out their arms and pose for pictures with the Leaning Tower in all kinds of whimsical shapes. Leaning Tower Construction History and Leaning Reasons The Leaning Tower of Pisa is more than 20 meters away from the cathedral. It has a cylindrical appearance and is made of white marble. The year of construction engraved in Latin on the base of the tower was 1174, and it was completed in 1350; but in fact, the calendar used in ancient Pisa was one year earlier than the Gregorian calendar, so the year of construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa was 1173. It is said that the Leaning Tower of Pisa was built with six trophies brought in by the Pisa fleet. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is 54.5 meters high and 16 meters in diameter. In the early stages of construction, the leaning tower tilted an average of 1 mm per year, and construction was temporarily suspended. Most believe the slope is due to uneven foundations and soft soil layers. In 1998, workers wrapped cables on the third tier, attached it to the frame, and removed some of the deposited soil to the north to bring the leaning tower into equilibrium. There are 213 arches on each floor of the leaning tower overlooking the city of Pisa. There are 294 spiral steps in the tower, for tourists to climb the tower and overlook the scenery of the whole city. Some steps are slippery, so you need to pay attention to your feet. In summer evenings, you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Pisa from the Leaning Tower. The experience of entering the Leaning Tower is very special. When you walk down the very narrow spiral staircase, you will feel as if you are on a boat. When you reach the top of the tower, the vision is suddenly clear. There is glass at the top of the tower, because the interior of the tower is hollow, so the ground floor can be seen directly through the glass. The process of climbing the tower is now limited by time and number of people. You need to go to the ticket office to book tickets in advance, or if you want to avoid long queues, you can buy tickets on the official website and print them out. Ticket holders to the summit should gather at the designated place in advance. The staff will first introduce the history of the Leaning Tower for 5 minutes, and then a special person will lead the team to climb the tower. Only 15 people are arranged in each batch, and the stay on the tower shall not exceed 30 minutes. If you feel that the Leaning Tower is too expensive, you can walk around the Leaning Tower, or visit the churches and museums on the square. There are many pedestrian streets near the scenic spot, and various handicrafts are sold in small shops.Show Less - 8.94.6/5316 ReviewFrom695.54based on 14651 reviews"The Castle of Saint Angel is close to the Vatican and there is an angel sculpture on the roof, so named. The castle is round, stand alone, layer by layer, with 5 or 6 layers. Unique shape, exquisite interior, and artillery in every corner, which can be well defended.

You can buy tickets on the spot, but you can enjoy priority admission when you buy tickets in advance. The direct elevator climbs to the top and has a small view of the mountains. It is great."Venice.Venice City Center2 km from downtown VeniceFeatured in Best Things to DoHighlights: The Bell Tower of San Marco belongs to the Basilica of San Marco. As the beacon of the city on the lagoon, the Bell Tower has long been regarded by the Venetians as an indisputable landmark of Venice, and its status in Venice is even more than the Basilica of San Marco itself. The predecessor of St. Mark's Bell Tower was a watchtower built in the 9th century, which was later converted into a bell tower. In the centuries that followed, the Campanile of San Marco was damaged several times and underwent several reconstructions and renovations. Now it has become a tourist attraction for tourists from all over the world. Standing on St. Mark's Square, you can take pictures with the clock tower. The Bell Tower of San Marco is 98.6 meters high, with a brick red exterior and a simple structure. The lower half is a huge columnar building composed of bricks, each side is 12 meters long and 50 meters high. Above is the vaulted bell tower, where five clocks were previously placed. These five clocks have unique functions. Three-thirty (MezzaTerza) announces the meeting of the Senate, noon clock (Nona) heralds the arrival of noon, the workers clock (Marangona) marks the beginning and end of the working day, and the horseshoe clock (Trottiera) calls the House of Representatives. (MaggiorConsiglio) members participate in Parliament. In the past, the bells of the bell tower would ring all over Venice, but now only the workers' bell is left here. Above the arched bell tower is a square building, the outer walls are decorated with lions and Venetian justice women.To prevent corrosion from the sun and rain, the entire statue is wrapped in a thin gilded copper sheet.

It is a good location for overlooking and photographing the beauty of Florence. Many tourists use it as the starting point for visiting Florence. Piazzale Michelangelo was built in 1869 by architect Giuseppe Poggi to commemorate the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Poggi also designed a gorgeous terrace, which is now a panoramic restaurant. It was originally planned to open a museum of Michelangelo's works here, but this plan failed to materialize. On the terrace wall is the following inscription: "The Florentine architect Giuseppe Poggi, here is his monument". Now Piazzale Michelangelo is a large parking lot. Most tourists come here to see the scenery of Florence.
