Torre del Mangia: Tickets, Views, and Tips

# Torre del Mangia: Tickets, Views, and Tips

The tower at the corner of Piazza del Campo is the second-tallest medieval bell tower in Italy. The climb up is real — and worth it.

Key facts

• Height: 87 meters, 400 steps.
• Tickets: ~10 euro, often combined with the Palazzo Pubblico museum.
• Capacity: limited to ~25 people at the top. Lines build by 11am.
• Best time: first entrance (10:00) or last (just before sunset).
• Closed in bad weather. Check the day before.

What I tell visitors

The view from the top is the best in town: terracotta rooftops, the Duomo, the Tuscan hills. Bring a wide-angle lens or a phone.
