The trip isn't over yet as you just earned a bonus stop in San Gimignano for a little stroll before making your way back. You can't miss San Gimignano when you visit Tuscany! San Gimignano is known for its 14 medieval towers, which dominate the skyline and create a unique atmosphere. These towers were built by wealthy families as symbols of their power and status, and today they are one of the town’s main attractions. You can climb to the top of some of the towers and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

How to reach the Meeting Point " Tuscany on Wheels "

BY CAR We are literally 10 km far to San Gimignano , between Siena and Florence and in the heart of the Chianti. You can find us right at the exit of the Firenze - Siena highway called "Poggibonsi Nord" .

BY TRAIN Get to Poggibonsi - San Gimignano central station. From there you can either take a taxi or walk. We recommend the taxi option. It is only a 10 mins ride but make sure to organize it in advance as taxis are often busy during the season.

BY WALK From Poggibonsi train station the distance is very walkable, 25 minutes walk and approx 2km. You can find here below the directions: https://bit.ly/3BFi8XK . Exit the train station from the secondary exit (the one close to the platform n°2). You will be on Via Montecitorio. Take your left and follow the main road, Via Fassati. Walk straight and at the fork take the right on Largo Usilia and continue straight onto Via Cassia/Viale Guglielmo Marconi for 15 minutes until you reach the roundabout. Careful here! We suggest you walk on the right side of the roundabout and take the third exit (Don’t mistake with the highway entrance!!). There isn't a pedestrian side walk so you need to watch out the cars. Once you reach the main road you’re almost there! First left and then left again!
