Itinerary

1. 1

   San Gimignano

   1h

   San Gimignano is a beautiful fortified city located between Florence and Siena and is famous for its architecture and its glorious medieval towers, which make the profile of this unique village.
In the most prosperous period of the village, the rich families of San Gimignano built 72 towers as a symbol of their power and wealth.
Today there are only 14 of these towers left, which contribute to a more enjoyable small town atmosphere.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990, San Gimignano is one of the small pearls of the Sienese district and offers tasty local products such as saffron and white wine famous worldwide as “Vernaccia di San Gimignano”.

2. 2

   Siena

   2h

   Situated in the heart of Tuscany and surrounded by the typical hill landscape of the Tuscan countryside, Siena is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Piazza del Campo, the shell shaped square, is the cornerstone of this city and the place where the well-known “Palio” is run. This is one of the most thrilling events for Sienese citizens. The Palio is an historic & exciting horse race that runs twice each year in July and August. Main Sites:
Piazza del Campo was built in 12 years and it is dominated by Palazzo Comunale with its tall Torre del Mangia. The internal courtyard of the Palace is the main access route to Museo Civico and Torre del Mangia, a place to enjoy a stunning view of the city after climbing 500 steps.
 The Siena Cathedral (Duomo), with its bell (1250-1313) was built in the Gothic style and is today incomplete in some parts of the building due to the scarcity of funds and plague.
