Tuscany in a Day: Siena, San Gimignano, & Pisa

Kickstart the tour with Siena and some authentic wine tasting

As Italy’s most-frequented province, there is little doubt that Siena is amongst the country’s most beautiful locations. Located in the Tuscany region, Siena is known primarily for its diverse range of historical monuments from the medieval period. The landscape is dotted with Romanesque and Gothic monuments. Your tour begins here, with a visit to Piazza del Campo where the famous Palio Horse Race is held twice annually, following the Piazza del Duomo, where you can soak in the stunning exterior of the magnificent Cathedral. After whiling away time doing your own thing, you will head to a winery located in between Siena and San Gimignano. Here, you will indulge in an authentic wine tasting experience with addition to a delectable Tuscan menu for lunch. The lunch consists of Bruschetta for starters, salami and fresh cheese, as first course tagliatelle with ragù sauce (upon request with tomato) and a typical dessert (wine and water included) to end the meal.

Experience the medieval atmosphere of San Gimignano

San Gimignano, famously known as the Town of Fine Towers, is your next attraction on the itinerary. With numerous churches like the Collegiate Church and the Church of Sant'agostino, this gorgeous walled town embodies the true essence of medieval Europe. Here, you can make the most of your free time with a visit to Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza del Duomo. Try out the world famous Gelato and capture stunning photos that will remain in your mind’s eye for years to come.

Discover the best attractions in Pisa

After San Gimignano, you will follow the picturesque roads rolling down the Chianti region to the compelling city of Pisa. Discover the treasures hidden within Piazza dei Miracoli, from the Baptistery and the Cathedral to, of course, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The Leaning Tower, constructed in the 12th and 13th centuries is one of the most notable landmarks in Europe and one of the seven wonders of the world. It stands at a height of 56 meters, and leans at almost 4 degrees, which led to its now famous name. After spending some free time here, your tour will come to an end. Head back to Florence with a boat load of memories that will last you a lifetime.
