To get the most of out of our Italy Eurail, we trained from Florence to Pisa, Pisa to Bologna in one day. Pisa was our "train break" that lasted about 2 hours. When we got off the train, I looked at a map and the leaning tower of Pisa looked like an easy fifteen or twenty minute walk. We walked over a bridge in Pisa that gave a great view of the city.
When I planned to visit the tower, I wasn't sure I wanted to see the tourist staple of Italy. My opinion changed when we saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person. The white tiled tower began to be constructed in three different phases around 1173. We did not go up the tower, but took lots of pictures from below.
We went inside Duomo number 3 of the week which was right next to the leaning tower. Mom tried to light another candle like we did in Florence, but this time she put someone else's out on accident.
I am glad we saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa for a couple of hours. We both agreed is was a highlight of the trip!
