There are lots of hill towns in Tuscany, but San Gimignano gets a lot of of the attention. Why? A San Gimignano travel is special in a few ways – all those towers make it unbelievably colorful from wherever outside the city and it’s not available by train which does help keep the huge crowds away. It can still look invaded during the daytime in the peak season, mainly because big tour buses drop day-trippers off for a few hours at a stretch, so if you really want to know these medieval streets at their most charming view, you’ll want to stay over at least one night.

What to Do in San Gimignano

Wandering through the whole town will merely take you a couple of hours, so you’ll want to appreciate your walk. Take your time, gaze over the improbably ideal Tuscan views extending in all directions, stop for coffee or gelato. There are a couple churches worth spending a little bit of time in, and some museums too. But the primary attraction of San Gimignano is no doubt San Gimignano. If you’ve took a car, it’s an ideal ground for exploring this part of Tuscany.

Getting To San Gimignano

If your departure is outside Europe, it’s in all likelihood that you’ll be flying into Rome’s Fiumicino Airport. From Rome to San Gimignano, you can rent a car and drive directly to San Gimignano or you can take a train to a bigger city like Florence or Siena and then get a bus (or rent a car there) to get to San Gimignano. If your point of departure is in Europe, Florence or Pisa is probably an easier airport to fly into. Search for deals on airfare to Italy and take a look at the low-cost offers in Europe.

Hotels San Gimignano

You can find many of the properties in San Gimignano are farm offers, and most of those are outside the city itself. The good news with this is that you’re likely to have splendid views of San Gimignano’s best-known towers, but it means that you’ll have to jump in your car or put your feet to good use to wander its pretty cobbled streets. There are a few San Gimignano hotels right inside the old city which are moderately priced, so if you desire to have the medieval streets right outside your door, that’s the way to go.
