Siena to San Gimignano: Private day trip

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 stone’s 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.
