I agree. I was originally totally confused why people would drive out to see something you can see in photos.

The moment I saw it while driving there, I gasped out loud. It was leaning. It was bright white. It stood tall above everything else.

We dropped by on our way from Florence to Cinque Terre. It’s worth a visit.

I also stopped there for the afternoon on a train between Florence and Cinque Terra. Was super convenient.

Standing under the leaning tower I legitimately felt like it was going to fall on me. It's a one of a kind experience. Well worth breaking up a train ride to see it and grab a meal.
