San Gimignano is known as the ‘Medieval Manhattan’ for its tall towers; today we enjoyed one of the most extraordinary streetscapes in Europe as we explored the town that has scarcely changed in six hundred years. We enjoyed a light lunch and wine tasting at Podere La Marronaia located in the San Gimignano countryside. We continued on to Siena, the largest of Tuscany’s hilltop towns, still exquisitely elegant. With our guide, we visited the imposing green and white marble Cathedral and enjoyed a walking tour through the town to the famous shell-shaped Piazza del Campo. There was free time for shopping or a drink before dinner in Siena this evening.
