Climb to the Top for Magic Views ๐Ÿ‘ฃ 183 winding steps (or take the elevator partway + climb the last stretch) ๐ŸŒ† Panoramic Rewards: Spot: Sun-dappled canals & drawbridges ๐Ÿšฒ Colorful gabled houses ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ Lively markets & street art ๐ŸŽจ Visitor Tips โฐ Open daily 1-5PM ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ โ‚ฌ3.50 adults / โ‚ฌ1.50 kids (<12) ๐Ÿ“ธ Best photo spot: From the adjacent square to capture the full lean! #DutchLandmarks #HiddenNetherlands #LeaningTower #Leeuwarden #TravelQuirks
