Siena is one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany, famous for its medieval architecture and culture. Just a 45-minute drive from San Gimignano, Siena is an ideal destination for a day trip. You will admire the majestic Piazza del Campo, the Siena Cathedral with its white and green marble facade, and the complex of the Palazzo Pubblico with the Torre del Mangia.
On the way back from Siena to San Gimignano, Monteriggioni is a must-visit stop! Monteriggioni is a small village with few roads, which almost seems to be a mirage in the middle of the Tuscan hills: the walls and the 14 suggestive towers are still intact, just like when they were built in the Middle Ages to defend and protect the locals.
