San Gimignano

Enjoy views of the scenic, rolling countryside on your 1-hour drive to San Gimignano. The beautiful stronghold of San Gimignano is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tuscany. It is a treasure of medieval architecture, frozen in time at 1300 AD. Above all, it is famous for its ancient towers, which still stand out from its skyline, earning it the nickname Manhattan of the Middle Ages. Discover the city on your own, with insider tips on where to find the best locally-made gelato or local Vernaccia wine. Visit the historic Piazza Duomo, admire the stunning frescoes and stone work inside the Collegiata Church and Sant’Agostino. Climb to the town’s highest point to take in the distinctive medieval towers, and soak up the colorful atmosphere in the sunny Piazza della Cisterna.
