Around 10 euro for the return trip- journey a little over an hour- frequent service. Try http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/ There's an english option too. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate -www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "If people think God is interesting, the onus is on them to show that there is anything there to talk about.

The trains go often (like every 20 Minutes in the day), you don't need to make reservation in advance. Just go to the station and buy a ticket. The train ride takes roughly one hour. It's definetely worth to take the day-trip to Pisa. One tip: If you look for nice restaurants, don't look near the leaning tower (just touristy), but rather in the town itself or near the River.

It boasts the best collection of roman sarcophaguses of the world. some of the frescoes.. destroyed during the war by an american air raid.. have now been restored and are in place. some people go to Pisa only for the leaning tower.. but i guess now visitors are admitted on a numerus clauss basis. and a very expensive you if you worry about the price of the train tickets in Italy. you will worry but more about entrance tickets to museums ( even if Italy is one of the cheapest countries on this respect ) maybe some of the roman ships recovered during excavations are now on exhibition. should be about 16 of them |

Change train in Lucca where you can spend at least an hour strolling around. For train connections try http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en It's an inexpensive trip but if you have to know you may consult http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/fer...il/inglese.jsp |

I don't recall it being very expensive, maybe 15 or 20 EUR for all the museums together. Regards, Frank |

It's EUR2 for the Cathedral, EUR5 for any 1 attraction other than the Leaning Tower itself, EUR6 for any 2 attractions, EUR10 for the any 5, and EUR15 for the leaning tower. So it's EUR10+EUR15=EUR25 for everything at the Piazza Miracoli. If you want the photo, I can send it to you, or it is probably on the web somewhere. R |

At that time we couldn't climb the leaning tower istself, as our son was too young for it then (children have to be 8 or so), so we paid the 10 EUR for 5 attractions, which i found reasonable. I didn't know they charge *that* much for the tower itself. Regards, Frank |
