pisa to me is a lot like verona. a good thing to check off the bucket list, but honestly not worth the time.getting to the leaning tower is a lot more effort than it is really worth and there is not much else to see there. the tower is a lot smaller than i expected and doesn't even stand out as much as pictures would make it seem.
however, if you decide to go, most people would recommend that you go to the top. we went at night so this was not an option for us. you will need to book a reservation about a month in advance and note that children under 8 are not allowed inside. the tower is open every day, but hours vary depending on the season. admission is 18 euros and tickets can be booked here.
the tower is located in piazza dei miracoli, along with the duomo. like most cities, the duomo is beautiful and a popular tourist attraction. this is open every day with varying hours depending on the season and admission is 5 euros. you can add additional monuments in the area at a discounted rate. these rates and hours can be found here.
as always, there are many other churches and museums to visit. we did not go to any of them, so i can't say much about them or if they are worth it.
i personally would not recommend pisa to people unless they are dying to see the leaning tower. there are some other things to do there, but i would not advise people to go out of their way to get there if that is their only reason for going.
happy reading and happy travels! xoxo -k
