Lean with it.
Gotta say, the Leaning Tower is a little overrated. It’s pretty crowded and we were bored in about five minutes. However if you combine it with a trip to Lucca, about 20 minutes away by train, it makes for a pretty amazing day. Lucca is a beautiful city surrounded by a historical wall. The wall is about 100 feet wide and is great to walk on or even ride a bike on. And in the center of the city is a plaza that was built in the foundations of an old Roman amphitheater. There’s also a tower in the city with a few trees growing on the top of it. Definitely recommend checking that one out. Plus Lucca is nowhere near as crowded as the area around the Leaning Tower.
