San Gimignano
Florence & Countryside
"Famous for its medieval towers and the exquisite way in which they blend with the Tuscan landscape around. This small medieval city is easily reached via car (1-hour drive from Florence)."
San Gimignano is 52 kilometers southwest of Florence. You can take a bus from the city, but the fastest way to get here is by car (in less than an hour). This well-preserved Tuscan hill town is famous for its 14 medieval towers. Visitors can explore the squares, stop by the Romanesque cathedral, and shop for local products. It's a popular day trip, so be prepared for crowds, especially midday.
