A guided tour will give you information about this medieval gem, aka the "Medieval Manhattan" for its numerous medieval towers, still intact. Free time to wander in the narrow streets and to shop will be available too. If you feel peckish, you can opt for a stop at Dondoli, Worldwide gelato championship winner, and indulge in its delicious gelati made with the fresh milk produced by the farmhouse just visited (gelato not included).
If you prefer a more off-the-beaten path experience, we'd suggest the visit of another medieval beauty, the village of Certaldo, that will enchant you with its history and buildings.
