"The Tuscany Manhattan" San Gimignano by shivan

San Gimignano Travel Guide: 448 reviews and 1,197 photos

Overview

S. Gimignano is maybe the most famous village in Tuscany (not counting towns like Pisa, Siena and Florence itself, obviously) because of its beauty and its many belfries.

For this reason it is called the "Manhattan of Tuscany".

We drove right by here in November one time and didn't see anything at all - all the towers were hidden in fog! I guess I'll have to come back ; )

Thanks for the info about parking. Is it crowded every day there?

San Gimignano looks like a pretty little town. I'd like to spend some time in Tuscany.

Don't be sorry dear Nicola, it is the truth, many visitors don't respect the beauty of places, but hey, you are lucky to have such a beautiful wife ;-))
