The climb to the top of the Guinigi Tower wasn't too bad and once at the top the views were breathtaking. Definitely worth the cost and effort.

It's worth climbing this 14th Century tower, which is easily found within the walls of the historic centre of Lucca. It's an easy climb, with ample rest points en route, if needed, and at the top of the tower is a small ancient garden with an oak tree! I haven't seen a tower like this before.

Great views of the city. We paid a little extra and climber the other clock tower. The weather in May was very pleasant. Both towers had windows in the tower which allowed for cool breezes.
One of three towers to climb in Lucca, IT. Do it. The clock Tower is just as impressive but lacks trees on top. The shade is a nice addition after a steep climb.
The pictures on the walls give a fascinating history of the family. It can get very cramped at the top.
We walked up the many steps in this skinny tower to receive a beautiful view of Lucca. Well worth it as we hired a bike to get around Lucca but stopped at the tower for something different.

The Guinigui is well known for the tree whcih lives and thrives up at the top of the tower, the tower itself is very small and so the tree takes pride of palce. the steps are steep so make sure you woudl like a workout before you embark on the rise. Fun ad different !
209 steps to see the wonderful sites of Lucca! A great attraction though a little cramped at the top which makes passing others a little awkward. 4€ to enter.
This was well worth the price of admission. Not too terribly difficult of a climb -- especially because there are landings where you can stop and rest if you need to. It's not like climbing inside a claustrophobic bell tower in an old cathedral. Views are wonderful.
