We enjoyed walking all the way up. It's worth a stop to see the movie. It is in Italian of course, but there are English subtitles. Worth the 5 minutes to hear the history. They have a system of stop lights (red and green) to show if you can proceed up or not. The system works because the stairway is so thin, only 1 person can fit at one time. Going up they also have stops along the way so you can read about different things and rest if you want!

This was an amazing experience, climbing up the bell tower gave incredible views of the beautiful city of Cremona. The baptistery was equally amazing.

502 gradini sia in salita che in discesa ma è da fare. Bella esperienza con varie tappe visitando mostre in vari piani. Bello il panorama dalla cima del Torrazzo.

Il personale è stato molto gentile e accogliente. La visita al Torrazzo è emozionante ed interessante soprattutto per l'orologio storico presente al suo interno. Vista fantastica in cima alla torre. Consigliatissimo

Il Torrazzo è una delle torri campanarie medievali più alte d’Europa (112,54 metri). Da fuori ammiriamo lo splendido orologio astronomico più grande del mondo, al quarto piano della torre. Costruito da Francesco e Giovan Battista Divizioli tra gli anni 1583-1588, l’orologio rappresenta la volta celeste con le costellazioni zodiacali attraversate dal moto del Sole e della Luna. La salita conta 502 scalini ma è ben organizzata con sale per fermarsi ed interessanti esposizioni museali ad ogni piano in modo da spezzare la lunga salita. Nella Sala del Quadrante e nella Sala del Meccanismo è possibile ammirare tutte le caratteristiche del funzionamento dell’orologio astronomico. Nella Sala della Misura del Tempo viene illustrata la storia della percezione umana del tempo mediante la ricostruzione di strumenti di misura antichi, varie tipologie di orologi. La Sala di Astronomia è dedicata allo studio dei corpi celesti e si trova una fantastica installazione del pendolo di Foucault. Durante la salita c’erano finestre dove si osserva un bellissimo panorama sulla città. Per la cella campanaria vanno saliti diversi gradini stretti di una scala a chiocciola e c'è pure un semaforo che dice al visitatore quando può salire.

Questo weekend appena trascorso sono stata a Cremona, molto carina! siamo saliti sul Torrazzo e con 10 euro a persona era compreso anche il Museo Diocesano e il Battistero. I gradini sono tanti :) ma ne vale la pena perchè la vista sulla città è davvero bella!

Ho visitato esclusivamente Torrazzo e Battistero, in compagnia di mio figlio. La salita del Torrazzo non è particolarmente impegnativa e praticamente a ogni piano ci si ferma nella corrispondente sala per poter ammirare, fra le varie cose, i meccanismi dell'orologio, potendo approfittare per riprendere fiato. L'ultima parte della salita avviene in una più stretta scala a chiocciola che permette di raggiungere la guglia e di godere di un panorama fantastico. Se siete amanti di architettura, meccanica e astronomia, punti panoramici direi che è un'esperienza da fare. Mi sono soffermato meno all'interno del Battistero, però anche qui l'impatto visivo della cupola è notevole. Per motivi di tempo, non ho visitato il museo diocesano. Il servizio di prenotazione e di accoglienza sono stati rapidi ed efficienti, è un'esperienza che mi ha lasciato soddisfatto, consiglio di godersela con calma.
