FĂŒhlen Sie sich frei, in Ihrem eigenen Tempo zu erkunden und zu entdecken
Stopp: 3 Stunden - Eintritt nicht inbegriffen
With strict restoration rules, San Gimignano has maintained its authenticity and history to this day. Considered a gem in the Tuscan region and just a stoneâs throw from Florence, this town has always had a favorable location. Its beautiful surroundings and elevated position made it the perfect relay point for those on pilgrimage to Rome. A special must-see in San Gimignano are its 14 towers - the survivors of an original 72. Admire the Romanesque and Gothic architecture while discovering one of the many museums holding some of the most coveted Italian artworks of the 14th and 15 centuries. Afterwards, take a walking tour of the inner-city walls. Yes, they are two! San Gimignano is protected by a set of two walls, which are accessible by various entries both from the inside and outside of town.

Daytrip wird auf der ganzen Welt geliebt. Hier ist der Grund.
San Gimignano is famed for its extraordinary skyline of medieval towers, earning it the nickname "Medieval Manhattan." During your 3-hour visit, you'll see 14 surviving towers (of the original 72) that served as status symbols for competing noble families during the 12th and 13th centuries. Unlike other Tuscan towns where towers were demolished over time, San Gimignano's economic decline after the Black Death paradoxically preserved these structures. Climb Torre Grossa (54 meters) for panoramic views of the town and surrounding countryside dotted with vineyards and olive groves.
Volterra offers Italy's best window into the mysterious Etruscan civilization that preceded the Romans. During your 3-hour visit, explore the exceptional Guarnacci Etruscan Museum housing 600 funeral urns and the famous "Shadow of the Evening" elongated bronze figure that inspired Giacometti. Visit the remarkably preserved Etruscan walls dating to the 4th century BCE, the Porta all'Arco gateway with its ancient stone faces, and archaeological sites revealing this sophisticated culture. The city's multiple layers of Etruscan, Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance history create a uniquely rich historical experience.
Alabaster is a soft, translucent stone that Volterra has specialized in carving since Etruscan times. During your visit, watch artisans transform this luminous material in workshops throughout the historic center, particularly along Via Porta all'Arco. The stone's translucent quality allows light to pass through delicate carvings, creating a distinctive glow. Visit the Ecomuseo dell'Alabastro to understand the material's cultural significance and historical techniques. Alabaster crafts make authentic souvenirs representing a 3,000-year-old artistic tradition unique to this region.
This day trip allocates 3 hours each for San Gimignano and Volterra, providing balanced exploration time. In San Gimignano, focus on climbing at least one tower, visiting the Collegiate Church with its vibrant frescoes, and experiencing the atmosphere of Piazza della Cisterna. In Volterra, prioritize the Etruscan Museum, Roman Theater remains, and the dramatic Medicean Fortress with its stunning valley views. Both towns reward wandering their atmospheric medieval streets, where you'll discover hidden courtyards, small churches, and authentic craft shops away from main tourist areas.
San Gimignano is known for golden-white Vernaccia wine (Italy's first DOC-designated wine) and locally produced saffron used in risottos and desserts. Try traditional options like wild boar with polenta or the town's award-winning gelato at Gelateria Dondoli in the main square. Volterra offers Tuscan specialties with unique Etruscan influences, including cinta senese (heritage pork), pecorino cheese aged in underground caves, and lardo di Volterra. Both towns feature excellent, family-run trattorias where regional ingredients shine in simple, authentic preparations.
San Gimignano is approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) southwest of Florence, with a driving time of about 1 hour. Volterra is 30 kilometers (19 miles) further, about 45 minutes from San Gimignano. The journey takes you through the scenic Tuscan countryside, with picturesque views of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads. Your private Daytrip driver handles all transportation between these hill towns, navigating the winding country roads while you relax and enjoy the changing landscapes between destinations.
April through October offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring these hilltop towns. Spring (April-June) brings green landscapes and fewer tourists, while early fall (September-October) features harvest activities and ideal temperatures. Summer provides extended daylight hours but brings more tourists and heat that can make exploring challenging. Consider visiting San Gimignano early in the day before tour buses arrive (typically 10 AM-4 PM), then continuing to Volterra which generally receives fewer visitors. Both towns are particularly magical in early morning and late afternoon light.
