4San Gimignano – Medieval Manhattan
San Gimignano is known for its medieval towers, which give it the nickname “Medieval Manhattan.” Once, this small town had over 70 towers; today, 14 remain, creating a distinctive skyline that transports visitors to the Middle Ages. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Gimignano is an incredibly picturesque town with cobbled streets, stone houses, and artisan shops.
Piazza della Cisterna, the town’s main square, is a lively place filled with cafes, gelato shops, and local boutiques. San Gimignano is also known for its Vernaccia wine, a crisp white wine produced in the area, which you can sample in many of the local wine shops. This charming hilltop town is perfect for those seeking authentic Tuscan beauty and history.
