The Journey
Certaldo Alto
Step back in time in Certaldo Alto, a perfectly preserved medieval hilltop town. Famous for being the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio, author of the Decameron, Certaldo Alto hosts the vibrant Mercantia festival each summer. For a week, the town transforms into a stage for street performers from around the globe, filling the narrow cobblestone streets with music, theatre, and art. Ride the funicular up to the town for panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside and immerse yourself in a world where history and culture collide.
San Gimignano
Discover San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a skyline punctuated by towering medieval towers, earning it the nickname 'Manhattan of the Middle Ages.' Once a strategic stop for pilgrims traveling to Rome, San Gimignano flourished, and wealthy families competed to build the tallest towers. Today, only 14 of the original 72 remain, offering a glimpse into the town's rich history. Wander through its charming piazzas, sample the local Vernaccia wine, and admire the breathtaking views of the surrounding Tuscan landscape from the top of the Torre Grossa.
