Overview

Enjoy your day-trip from Genoa Pier: meet your English speaking driver alongside your cruise ship and be driven to San Gimignano. A stroll through the core of San Gimignano, in the shadows of its surviving towers, is a delight. As the town was about a day's trek to Siena or Florence in the Middle Ages, it was a good stopover for pilgrims en route from those cities to Rome. Near the main gate, you can still see the remains of a 12th-century pilgrims' shelter.
S.Gimignano counts 14 towers. A visit here also includes access to the archeological museum and Torre Grossa. After your walking tour enjoy a typical wine tasting and light lunch in one of the wineries of the area before heading back to Genoa.

What To Expect

San Gimignano
San Gimignano is one of the most iconic and recognizable destinations in all of Tuscany. From all over the world there is someone who dreams of reaching this ancient village to experience the experience of immersing yourself in a perfect medieval postcard. Unesco heritage since 1990, San Gimignano, also known as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages", owes its fame to the incredible amount of towers that stood on the roofs of the small town, even 65 in the heyday of the city.

Torre Grossa (o Torre del palazzo del Podesta)
The Archaeological Museum displays finds from the Etruscan, Roman and medieval periods originating in the San Gimignano area. The exhibition is divided into two sections: one dedicated to Etruscan-Roman art with evidence from settlements found in the area dating back to the VII-I century BC, the other reserved for artisan production activities, such as glass and ceramic, attested in the city during the Middle Ages.

Next to the building is the splendid Torre Grossa, completed in 1311, the tallest in the city,
from which it is possible to admire a unique and unforgettable panorama.
