Climbing the Torre del Magia is a must do in Sienna as th ultimate way to appreciate the grand Il Campo and the other architectural highlights of Sienna. The vista in every direction is captivating and it gives all the other attractions true perspective.
When finished a glass of Tuscan wine and a gelato to cool down are awaiting in the squares many cafe's.

Torre de Mangia is the most known building in Siena. It is located in Piazza del Campo (main square) in the old town of this charming medieval city, in Tuscany Region, in the center of Italy. It is a bell tower located in the Palazzo Publico (town hall) and it was built in 14th Century. Then was the highest secular tower in the city and it has the same high than the Duomo bell tower: a contraposition between two powerful powders: state and religion. After some other elements was included until their final form. Wonderful bell tower. I am sure it will be the first place you will go, if you come to Siena. Top in Tuscany and Italy (and probably on world).

Climbing the steps to the top of the torre is well worth it! Siena is situated up on a hill in Tuscany, so not only do you get an amazing view of the city, you get a great view of the surrounding countryside.
I especially loved the view of Siena from above as it better helped me appreciate just how old and well preserved this beautiful city is. It's unlike any other in Italy!

You could save your money and climb the outdoor section of the cathedral. When you go to the cathedral, part of the ticket is for the "Opera museum" (nothing to do with opera – I think it means "work"). This section has an outdoor climb with two viewing platforms. The views are stunning.

The first few steps can be difficult, but don't be afraid. It is only because of the presence of the clock mechanism that narrows the passage, after the first steps the space widens and you can climb more easily. At the end you will be able to enjoy an enviable panorama!

The view is amazing but is the 400 steps up and then 400 steps down worth it. This is a very steep and narrow climb. It gets steeper and narrower the higher you go. Half an hour to get to the top and back. One way traffic so you have to wait for the last person up before you go down. If you are 6 foot mind your head

Fantastic experience! There are a lot of steps (allegedly 400, but we only counted 313) to the top, and probably not for those with claustrophobia or vertigo, but the views over Siena are worth the climb. A really great way to view the city and admire the beauty and uniqueness of the labyrinth.

Siena is a beautiful town! The streets are quaint. The restaurants are numerous and excellent! The history is great too. One nice way to capture the essence of Siena is with a visit to the Torre del Mangia. The climb of a few hundred steps is very manageable. Not wide though…. They only let a handful up at a time, so not an issue in terms of crowds. That said, if you visit in high season, book in advance. The view from the top of the tower is great. The layout of the streets below is excellent. Not a long activity, so you can weave it in to your day very easily. Certainly a recommend as an add on to your day.

We had bought the ticket to climb the tower and we were asked to wait for an hour.
We didn’t expect the experience to be so great but it indeed was. There are more than 400 steps to climb but it is worth it. The view from the top reminds you of the “King’s Landing” in Game of Thrones web series.
We took loads of pictures while climbing the stairs and also once we reached the top. The observatory gives you a 360 degree view of the town. And the Piazza looks great from the top too.

It was not easy. And when we thought we were there, we found out, we were only half way there. We paid for our tickets, 8 euro, to continue. Was it worth it? YES. Be prepared to put your back pack and purses in a locker, before advancing. The folks who gave us our tickets, spoke enough english for us to understand we had to leave our back packs and to give us a student group rate. Like most medival towers, the stairs are steep and norrow. Sure, it's kind of scarey, but only kinda. You kind of start laughing and joking about it. But the VIEW was breathtaking. Take lots of pictures. Try standing on side and take a shot of opposite side. Take photos going up and down stairs too. Come on, that's half the story. But be prepared to be sore and laugh about it. IT'S WORTH IT. Get a photo of square below. Have fun. And don't be afraid to do it. I'm 50 afraid of heights and tight spaces. I have a bad ankle, bad knee and nerve injury. If I can do it , you can. Ciao.

Quanto tempo occorre per la visita? I biglietti si acquistanto solo in loco? Non è possibie prenotaizone?

Chiedo anch'io se si possa salire sulla torre con un cagnolino (ovviamente da portare in braccio). Grazie
Written 12 August 2018
Buonasera,
leggo solo adesso.
Penso che non sia possibile. Comunque sarebbe una cosa impegnativa perchè gli scalini da salire non sono pochi, lo spazio è stretto e, a meno chè si salga tra i primissimi, almeno da scansare il problema in salita, bisogna fermarsi spesso per far passare i visitatori che si incrociano...

Ho un bimbo di 5 anni. Si può fare o può diventare pericoloso? Lo chiedo non x la questione fatica ma per la questione sicurezza (scalini ripidi ed eventuali rischi cadute...). Grazie

Assolutamente non pericoloso, potrebbe essere faticoso per un bimbo di cinque anni.

Bonjour, Alice. Que voudriez-vous savoir sur cette attraction ? bonjour je voudrais savoir si cette visite est accessible a une personne un peu en surpoids et pas vraiment sportive ? je vois dans les commentaires que c'est raide et par moment étroit et surtout que c'est limite en temps. d'avance merci pour votre réponse

buonasera.
domani vorrei visitare la torre ma con noi (siamo una coppia con una ragazza di 14 anni e una di 9) c'è un piccolo cagnolino. È possibile salire con lui sulla torre?
Written 24 April 2017
sinceramente non ho visto salire animali sulla torre, premetto che per salire sulla torre è necessario depositare borse e zaini......quindi non potrebbe tenerlo neanche in braccio. Però se vuole può contattarli telefonicamente.
buona giornata!!

I saw in the reviews that we must check bags, but are we allowed to bring a camera up to the top?
Written 30 June 2016
Yes, you can bring your camera!
I was a little anxious when I heard I had to leave behind my bag. But there are guarded lockers for your bags for free. Having climbed the tower, I have to say I'm glad I didn't have my bag, the stairway is incredibly small...
