Was there last August. Beautiful architecture! Incredible what they were able to construct so long ago! We didn’t go inside because you had to have a reservation. The only time slots they had left didn’t work for us. Super crowded!

I wasn't aware they let people go into it.
Yea were able to go all the way to the top. That was in 2012.

I have. It’s leaning way more than it looks in pictures. It’s weird.

Went up there last December. Believe I posted on here that I was waiting in line. Interesting thing to me was that the building’s lean affects you on the stairs. I’m a fairly tall gringo, so there wasn’t much overhead clearance for me.
Probably one of the best things I experienced in Italy was at the baptistery on the Pisa site. Like every half hour or so they’d have a monk (priest?) come in and sing. Or basically just go through the scales. The acoustics in there were amazing, and the notes would reverberate around the stone walls. The sounds were incredible.

Pisa the city is a huge shithole. The tower is inside a wall. I would go anywhere else in Italy and skip the tower and that whole city. Flooded with gypsies trying to steel your shite.

Seen it. They were doing something and they wouldn’t let people go up it. It’s neat. Easy train ride from Florence.

Went a couple days ago. You can definitely go to the top and It is cool to see. The architecture there and the buildings around it are incredible. The grounds are incredibly crowded with people trying to get an instagram pic of themselves holding up the tower. There are a ton of “shops” all around trying to sell you bullshite. The town itself sucks. The Italians don’t want you there. Don’t ever care to go back.

There’s 251 steps.

No, but I have been to Tower of Pizza on Downman Road in New Orleans.

Went about 15 years ago. There was hardly anyone there. The thing I remember most is how the marble stairs were so worn down that they were basically curved downward. Coming down was fraught.

I did on a school trip in high school. Didn’t even know people had a phobia of that

Don't blame me, it looked like that when I got there.

My dad was an artillery spotter during WWII and his unit was there for several months.
He said every day they would reconnection their lines that the Italians had cut and then cut the lines the Italians used.
