My Angle on PISA
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by proxam

Advantages: Big WOW factor
Disadvantages: None

One of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany last year was to be our visit to Pisa. To be accurate, the main attraction was not so much the city of Pisa itself, charming though it undoubtedly is, but the Field of Miracles*. Well, to be punctiliously precise, it wasn't even the Field of Miracles that had our anticipatory juices flowing, but The Leaning Tower of Pisa in particular. * The Field of Miracles is the area housing the Duomo, Tower, Baptistry ...

The leaning tower of ....where
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by jameshale

Advantages: One magnificent sight
Disadvantages: Only one magnificent sight

...Pisa relies almost entirely on the bell tower for much of its fame. It may also boast that it was the birthplace of the great natural philosopher, Galileo Galilei but even he used the tower's fame to embark on his infamous falling bodies experiment. I recently paid homage to this miracle (literally, the tower should have fallen over) by taking a trip to Pisa with my Civil Engineering department. As luck would have it, one of our lecturers is a ... Read review

A VERTIGO VIEW OF THE LEANING TOWER
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by poshtroika

Advantages: Gives you something to do in Pisa
Disadvantages: No safety fence.

...lovely few days in Pisa, the tilting to the Leaning Tower had been arrested, it is even said it is now being reversed, but for obvious tourist reasons I do not envisage that it will be bought back to a level state. History says it was begun in 1173 and that it has always tilted, subsidence disrupted the foundations so that when they had only errected 3 of the 8 storeys they knew they had a problem, so for the next 180 years a succession of Architects ...

The Leaning Tower
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by giannit

Advantages: Piazza dei Miracoli and Piazza dei Cavalieri are wonderful
Disadvantages:

Pisa is the hometown of Galileo Galilei, the famous physician, who carried out his first experiments on the gravity of the Leaning Tower in Piazza dei Miracoli. In the square, world famous for its bell-tower, one can admire the Baptistery, the Cathedral and the Cemetery, monuments, which are a testimony to the different development phases from the Romanic Style of Pisa to the Gothic. Its internationally known University has its prestigious seat ... Read review

Tower is impressive
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by davysimpson

Advantages: Leaning tower
Disadvantages: Thats the only attraction

...and was a great place. The tourist information at the train station was very helpful and was obvious to the common attraction of the Leaning tower. The map took us their perfectly after a short walk. Enough lucky, lucky men to buy dodgy sunglasses off to make you feel really touristy. On arrival the tower seemed so-so as we had witnessed more than enough across europe. But on closer inspection after walking around the tower you become overwhelmed. ... Read review

The Leaning tower of Pisa
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by seriousstuff

Advantages: Visit to the one of the World Wonder
Disadvantages: Careful with local thieves.

...towards Turin (Torino in Italian). The ticket will cost you around 80 euros per person. This was on a New year day. From the Pisa Central station, you can take a bus to the leaning tower of pisa its just 10 minutes away. The bus stops straight in front of the Pisa entrance. There are two more churches and a museum inside the grounds. One of the churches is free and you should buy tickets to visit all the other churches and to climb the tower. Its ... Read review

A leaning tower and more
Review of The Leaning Tower of Pisa by jonyee

Advantages: A leaning tower
Disadvantages: Too much culture for me!

The leaning tower of Pisa must be one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. The builders all of those years ago probably wouldn’t have dreamed how their botched up job could create millions in tourist revenue. Fortunately, you can go up it once more, but only the first couple of levels as it’s too dangerous. There’s nothing stopping you making funny poses in front of it though and there are other things to do as well. Next door are ... Read review
