| Description: |
Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti maintain a mediaeval atmosphere that reminds the visitor of the moments of these cities’ maximum splendour. Nowadays these cities are must-see locations for the discerning visitor who wishes to experience their unspoilt beauty. Declared by Unesco to be a world heritage site, San Gimignano is also known as the “the city of a thousand towers”: here you can still admire 14 mediaeval towers, once a symbol of the power and wealth of their inhabitants, which survive to this day. The excursion continues with a visit to Siena where you will be enchanted by the splendid Cathedral built in a Romanesque/Gothic style (admission included) and by the Palazzo Comunale (town hall). This palace is situated in the picturesque Piazza del Campo, in which the famous Palio takes place every year. Lunch break. In the afternoon we continue through the area of the Chianti Classico. You will have the opportunity to enjoy beautiful vistas into the surrounding landscape from the streets and piazzas of this settlement, which has remained virtually the same over centuries. We conclude our tour with a visit to a renowned vineyard, reviewed in the best, specialised journals, with a snack consisting of salamis, cheeses, and different kinds of bruschetta accompanied by a selection of high-quality wines.
