How to Reach the Leaning Tower of Pisa

This Italian landmark is so famous that almost everyone seems to know what the Leaning Tower of Pisa looks like, even those who have never been there. Nestled in the Campi dei Miracoli next to Pisa's Cathedral and Baptistry, tucked in the very tourist-friendly province of Tuscany, it's easy to reach the Leaning Tower by bus, subway or on foot. The tower itself is nothing more than a glorified belfry, but that doesn't deter the many thousands of tourists that stop by every year.
