Just checking the official website for my upcoming trip and just wanted clarification. I know it is 18€ for the timed leaning tower climb and that you are able to obtain a free ticket to the cathedral. Is there a charge to enter the field of miracles and just take the silly photos with the tower? Traveling as a day trip from Florence with our teen daughter who doesn’t care to climb; just wants pics.
We will be in Pisa Monday June 3rd and now would be the window to buy tickets if we need them.
Thanks!

When we went in 2011, we paid to enter the cathedral (about $8 / person) but there was no entry fee for the field of miracles, nor any "entry" at which such a fee could have been charged. But that may have changed; there was no fee when I went to Stonehenge, either :-)

In the sw corner of the property, there is a museum. I waited in the lobby after visiting the bapistry to connect with my friends who climbed the tower. In the lobby I was able to watch, for free, in English and Italian a "schoolhouse rock" style cartoon of attempts thru the centuries to straighten the tower. Fascinating! What is a bit harder to access on the grounds *if you aren't paying for a ticket * is a restroom

The answer your question is no - there is no fee for the Piazza. You can roam around at will, but they'd like you to stay off the grass. Watch your fellow tourists and you'll learn a lot about imaginative silly pictures.
