  • This was by far the most impressive cathedral we went to on our Tuscany trip (much more impressive even than Pisa). The frescos and art work are generally in great condition and the whole cathedral...

  • This is one of the best collections of works in the entire city. I absolutely suggest to visit it by means of the cumulative ticket that, besides making the price of the visit really derisory, also...

  • It is another tourist attraction in the beautiful Tuscany region. and only take 1 day to see them all. The weather is great in summer. You can see the scenery from a high angle.
  • Surreal, out of a dream kind of place! A lively plazza by the day with the hustle bustle of tourists, countless ristorantes & shops and perfect bliss & peace by the night with people strolling like they are part of some play! Absolutely charmed!!
  • Marvelous square in the little town of San Gimignano. I definitely recommend to buy the all-included pass for the city, which is valid for two days and allows you to visit the dome, the town hall and its tower as well as few other landmarks of San Gimignano.
  • It was just a quick stop for me, but the autumn Tuscan sky, the little streets, the gelato and the calmness of the visitors made it incredibly pleasant! It was on my list to visit and I am glad I got the chance to be there on a sunny day!
  • The San Gimignano town is little, and you can visit it in a short time. We arrived early before all the tourist busses or visitors appeared, in the main street there are many stores and some galleries. We found a few museums where they showed the torture chambers. At the center there is a food market, which I think is focused more on the locals rather than tourists. The view from the top castle overlooks the hills of Tuscany where many farms and villas are located.
