The Journey
Siena
Siena, a perfectly preserved medieval city, radiates from its three hills across the Tuscan landscape. For centuries, it has maintained the appearance it had in the 1300s, making it a uniquely coherent example of medieval architecture. Renowned for its central piazza, the Piazza del Campo, home to the thrilling Palio horse race, Siena offers a step back in time. As a pioneer in urban preservation, being the first European city to restrict traffic in its historic center back in 1966, Siena promises an authentic and immersive cultural experience, captivating visitors with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
San Gimignano
San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famed for its striking skyline of medieval towers, earning it the nickname "Manhattan of the Middle Ages." Once boasting 65 towers, built by rival patrician families as symbols of wealth and power, this hilltop town offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Beyond its iconic silhouette, San Gimignano enchants visitors with its charming streets, artisan shops, and the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a renowned local wine. Experience the allure of a perfect medieval postcard as you wander through this captivating Tuscan gem.
