Yes, the tower reopened to visitors in 2001 after an 11-year closure for stabilization efforts, but access is still restricted. Only 30 visitors at a time are permitted entry, no children under age 8 can climb the nearly 300 stairs, and ascent times are limited to lessen structural stress. Prepaid tickets booked far in advance are required. While visibility and photos at the top are unparalleled, the infamous lean is also most noticeable due to vertigo-inducing extremes like a 17-foot overhang. Still, supervised guided tours to relieve weight distribution anxieties allow visitors to ascend into literal Pisan history briefly yet safely.
