Torre del Mangia is Italy's third tallest historic tower at 87 meters. Built between 1338 and 1348, it offers stunning panoramic views over Siena and the Tuscan hills. The climb requires 400 steps through narrow passages but the view is worth the effort.
Same-day tickets only. Combined ticket with Museo Civico €15. Check opening status as tower may be closed for renovation.
Early morning or late afternoon for best light and smaller crowds. Clear days offer views up to 50km. Avoid midday in summer due to heat in the tower.
