Why the comparison with Manhattan? Quite simply, the skyline of San Gimignano is characterized by medieval towers, there are a total of 13 gender towers. These were built by the noble families and were considered a kind of status symbol. “Whoever has the highest tower has the highest reputation” 😉
San Gimignano is located in the heart of Tuscany and belongs to the province of Siena. This medieval town is truly unique and can best be discovered by strolling through the car-free streets and enjoying the view of the surrounding wine regions.
Instead of raving any longer about San Gimignano, I would rather introduce you to our video 😍
Our personal opinion about San Gimignano:
- trip to the past
- Romantic flair
- half a day of sightseeing is sufficient
Best travel time:
We recommend spring and autumn. In summer it can get very hot and often crowded with tourists.
