If, after visit Florence you still have some time follow the signs to Fiesole, a hilltop town 10 km outside Florence, which not only offers spectaculars views of the whole of the city, but also has some extremely impressive’ Etruscan ruins.
Siena
This beautiful mediaeval city is a must for anyone visiting the region of Tuscany, especially its unique shall shaped Piazza del Campo, the heart of the city and the pride of the Sienese. Siena is a medieval city par excellence, crammed with rich treasures, and far many people it is infinitely more appealing than Florence, the Tuscan capital. All over the city, statues of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf serve as a reminder that, according to the legend, it was founded by Senius, the son of Remus. Siena has many sights to see apart from its beautiful Piazza. Wednesday morning is market day and the market is held in the car park: there are alternative places to park but Siena will be busier than normal.
San Gimignano
One of the best preserved medieval cities in Italy, with its famous 13 towers dating back centuries. This unique hilltop town boasts wonderful panoramas and attracts visitors worldwide. The first sight of S.Gimignano takes your breath away and seems to take you back to another age. Originally there were no fewer than 72 towers (15 survive). They were built thanks to the immense wealth of this free comune’s merchant and financial classes, gleaned from their principal trades of saffron and usury (as 13th- century canonical law defined financial speculation).
San Gimignano fell into decline in the 14th century, when its population was decimated by wars, civil strife, famine and plagues. In 1351 the town re1inquished its independence and surrendered itself to Florence. In the meantime, an abundance of houses, towers and tower-houses, springs and reservoirs, churches, ware- houses, hospices, convents and elegant mansions had grown up along the urban stretch of Via Francigena. Protected by strict monument restrictions since 1929, San Gimignano is an extraordinary living museum. Perhaps it does have a few too many souvenir shops and tourists but come in the low season, on weekdays or at quiet times (before 11,30 am or in the late afternoon) for an unforgettable visit.
