Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy

A Day in Tuscany

Tour Historic and Beautiful San Gimignano Indulge in two enchanting experiences: a stroll through the hill town of San Gimignano and lunch at a Tuscan farm. After a scenic drive through the countryside, arrive at the walls surrounding San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will marvel at the city’s medieval architecture, including its 14 towers. Some believe they were part of the fortifications, while others think they were built to demonstrate the wealth of dueling families. Walk with your guide past the elegant southern gate, or Porta San Giovanni. Stroll through the Piazza della Cisterna, with its herringbone pattern of bricks, and the Piazza del Duomo, home to impressive palaces. For lunch, travel to a local farm and dine among ancient olive groves and vineyards with spectacular views of San Gimignano. You can also visit the farm’s winery for a tasting. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
