The town of fine towers is visible from miles away from the valleys and hills that surround it. A one of a kind skyline that in the Middle Ages housed more than towers and in which time stood still.

Things to do in San Gimignano

San Gimignano must be discovered slowly. A walk, a visit to the museums, a break in one of the many restaurants offering typical Tuscan cuisine: discovering the city under the banner of slow tourism is the best way to admire its beauty unchanged over time.

One day in San Gimignano itinerary

The medieval streets of the village ask only to be walked looking up and around. If you go there during wintertime, you will discover such an uncrowded city so expect to see ladies and knights emerge from the doors of the ancient noble palaces: a dream that becomes reality in June, with the costumed celebration of Santa Fina, the patron saint.

Weekend in San Gimignano

Your visit can start from Porta San Matteo and discover Piazza Sant'Agostino, seat of the convent of the same name. Back on the main street, go on to Piazza del Duomo, where you can admire a one of a kind cycle of frescoes surmounted by a starry vault. Next to it, the civic center of the city, now transformed into the Torre Grossa Museum, from the top of which you can admire the village and the surrounding hills.
