San Gimignano Guide

San Gimignano is a city of art which, since the middle ages, has been a crossroads of trade and tourist traffic. Over the years the town and its territory have not lost this vocation.
Today San Gimignano is a UNESCO World Heritage town, the first in the Province of Siena to be awarded this recognition. San Gimignano offers the visitor everything a town needs: history, art masterpieces, an architecture unique in the world, a countryside and landscape that are the finest in Tuscany.

Together with all this San Gimignano can boast excellent food and wine: a selection of traditional, certificated products, accompanied by wines such as Vernaccia, the first Italian white wine to be declared DOCG (Guaranteed Controlled Denomination of Origin), a wine which is even mentioned by Dante Alighieri in The Divine Comedy. To its artistic, architectural and landscape beauties, not to mention the pleasures of the table, San Gimignano can add modern, people-friendly services, high quality accommodation, averagely accessible prices and a strategic position between Siena and Florence.

The perfect point of departure for discovering the whole of Tuscany.
