Driving south from Florence and crossing the beautiful Hills of Chianti we will first reach San Gimignano, a picturesque, fascinating medieval town declared a World heritage Site by UNESCO and famous for its white wine, the world renowned Vernaccia. The visit is free for independent sightseeing. You will have time to wind your way through the narrow streets and to admire the relaxing landscape surrounding the village.
Our day will continue to Siena, the Medieval town with the suggestive Piazza del Campo famous for the Palio and for being one of the most splendid examples of Gothic civil architecture in the world. Here stands the magnificent Palazzo Pubblico with its tower Torre del Mangia. We will continue on the direction of the Duomo, one of the most fascinating Italian churches in Gothic style. Our local Guide will show us the highlights of this magnificent city.
We will then proceed to Monteriggioni, a medieval town which conforms almost perfectly to the archetypal mental image most of us have of a walled village. The town walls and towers are almost intact, and the view from downhill is quite astonishing.
Finally we will move to the Chianti area with its impressive picture-postcard landscape and in a famous wine estate we will have the chance to taste the best Chianti red wine along with home-made snacks.
