Beautiful views from the top! The climb is over 500 steps, but there several floor in the museum where you can take a break if needed.

Beautiful. Free to enter and walk around. I happened to be there the same time as a mass service and it was lovely to sit at the back and listen.

Lovely experience and only 10 Euro. Take your time and enjoy the historical exhibits during the climb. It is worth climbing the Torrazzo di Cremona and the view is beautiful. I did it during the Torrone Festival so there was a lot of music and activity which made it extra special!

With a height of 112m, this is the 3rd tallest brickwork bell tower in the world. I have climbed a lot of church bell towers in many Italian towns, personally I think the view on the top is good, but not as spectacular as I had expected. But the tower itself is very well designed, with small "galleries" of different scientific interests spreaded throughout different floors, to keep visitors interested.

The Vertical museum in Cremona was interesting to visit. The context of the museum is within a beautiful piazza with a gelato place on the corner of the piazza. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes because the entire way up is all stairs. It's a really magical experience because it takes you through time and shows you the different instruments used through the ages. The top of the tower offers a beautiful 360 view of the city. Would definitely recommend a visit here if you like history!

This is a fun tower to climb. Built in 1309, it's the 3rd tallest all brick tower and oldest that is over 100m. It's fun to climb to the bell. Try to appreciate the amazing brickwork that was done in 1309! Highly recommend!

A nice 'vertical' museum with interesting rooms explaining the story of the tower and about clock making. The tower itself is a very tall (112m) structure with a very large astronomical clock. Once you climbed all the stairs you will be able to admire a breathtaking view from its panoramic platform just beneath the top of the tower.
