Walk among the white marble monuments of Piazza dei Miracoli with a certified local guide and hear the history of Pisa. Your cathedral ticket lets you skip the ticket line and see the golden mosaics, marble columns and the legendary "Column of Love." In front of the tower, learn why it leans and how it has been preserved, and with the tower option, climb its 251 steps at a set time to enjoy views over Pisa. The tour runs in a small group of up to 15 people, so it is easy to focus on your guide.

Meet your guide under Porta Santa Maria in Piazza Daniele Manin and enter Piazza dei Miracoli. Home to the cathedral, baptistery, bell tower and Camposanto, this UNESCO World Heritage square is famous for its white marble buildings glowing in the Tuscan sun. Your guide introduces the square for about 10 minutes.

Skip the line with your cathedral ticket and explore the interior with your guide for about 30 minutes. Begun in the 11th century, Pisa Cathedral is a leading example of Pisan Romanesque architecture, and its golden mosaics and marble columns reflect the prosperity of medieval Pisa as a maritime power. Your guide also shares hidden stories many visitors miss, such as the legendary "Column of Love."

In front of the tower, spend about 20 minutes learning why it leans, how it has been kept from falling, and the legends surrounding it. Built as the cathedral's bell tower, it began to lean during construction and took on the shape you see today.

If you choose an option with a tower ticket, you climb the tower at your assigned time. After walking up 251 steps, you can look out over Piazza dei Miracoli and the city of Pisa. The tower visit takes about 35 minutes.
