為了前往比薩(Pisa)一睹比薩斜塔(Torre Pendente)究竟有多斜,所以刻意選擇在佛羅倫斯(Florence)停留。
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pisa ( /ˈpiːsə/; Italian pronunciation: [ˈpiːsa]) is a city in Tuscany, Central Italy, on the right bank of the mouth of the River Arno on the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide for its Leaning Tower (the bell tower of the city's cathedral), the city of over 88,332 residents (around 200,000 with the metropolitan area) contains more than 20 other historic churches, several palaces and various bridges across the River Arno.
The city is also home of the University of Pisa, which has a history going back to the 12th century and also has the mythic Napoleonic Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies as the best Superior Graduate Schools in Italy.
這一天起了個大早搭火車前往比薩(Pisa)車站,一出站就可以看到廣場上有一個附近的地圖,確定了方位後步行出發。簡單的描述一下,出了車站後一直往前走,走到一個像古蹟的地方就無法往前,接著左轉舊會看到遠方的比薩斜塔(Torre Pendente),如果方向感不好的人其實可以跟著遊客走,因為大部份遊客都是要前往斜塔(Torre Pendente)的,所以應該不太容易迷路!
比薩斜塔(Torre Pendente)就在不遠處!
比薩斜塔(Torre Pendente)
坦白說真的很斜,感覺隨時會倒塌!

在這橘色建築旁邊是售票處,想要登上比薩斜塔(Torre Pendente)必須先購票,票上會有時間不需排隊,但隨身行李必須在進場前10分鐘於售票處隔壁寄放!
進去之後是無止盡的迴旋梯,可以明顯感受出傾斜的程度!
越爬越高。。。
飄著市徽的旗
頂端要再"轉"一次才能下樓。。。
仔細看可以發現外面的平地
遊客超愛"推"斜塔這一套。。。
