San Gimignano
Where to staySan Gimignano, the "city of beautiful towers," is one of Tuscany's most iconic destinations. For 2026, the accommodation strategy is divided into two main profiles:
- Historic Center (ZTL - Limited Traffic Zone): Ideal for those seeking total immersion. Staying within the walls allows you to walk to the Piazza della Cisterna and enjoy the city's silence after the day-trippers leave. Attention: Car access is restricted; always check if the hotel has authorization for your vehicle or affiliated external parking.
- Surroundings and Val d'Elsa: The preferred option for those seeking the authentic Tuscan "agriturismo" experience. Ideal for families or those with a rental car, offering panoramic views of the towers from afar, private pools, and private vineyards.
Safety in the region is very high, and public transport (bus) connects San Gimignano to Poggibonsi, which has a train station connecting to Florence and Siena.
