Visit of San Gimignano

After lunch San Gimignano is only a few minutes away. It is considered the most beautiful Medieval hilltop village in Italy (Unesco World Heritage site) and is known as the Manhattan of the Middle Ages, because its skyline looks like one of our modern cities. In fact the profile of its 14 towers, which stand out clearly against the sky, captures the wayfarer from far off.

Here venture into centuries of rich and tumultuous history, hear about medieval everyday life and incredible battles while climbing on the the top of a fortress to understand the town's defensive strategy and see ever dreamed Tuscan landscape.

We have plenty of time to explore the maze of its ancient cobbled streets and small squares that are in summer the site preferred by buskers who perform in the complete silence of people listening to them play. The many shops of local artisans and farm products together with one of the best ice cream shops in Italy are tempting, and as we walk among the towers we step back in time.
