One of the finest medieval cities in the world, home of the Palio and birthplace of great artists, Siena is a real pleasure to explore, a chest full of treasures: from the suggestive Piazza del Campo, dominated by the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia, to the Duomo. If you like art, you will love the paintings in the Civic Museum, and if you’re feeling peckish, you’ll appreciate the line of confectionery shops that sweeten the old town.

Monteriggioni is a town that is entirely fortified, just as was in the Middle Ages: time seems to have stood still on this hilltop. You will stroll in a daze, among crenellated towers, stone houses, and cobbled streets, immersed in the Tuscan countryside. In July, during the "Medieval Festival", noble gentlemen, people in costume, and courageous knights come back to life: this unique event is an exciting celebration.

Florence: the "Cradle of the Renaissance" needs no introduction. You just have to decide where to start. Art and culture are here in every corner, from the Uffizi Gallery, to the majestic Duomo which is crowned by Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistry, and on to the old Medici family homes of Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. The center of Florence offers a thousand opportunities to relax: from the boutiques of Via Tornabuoni to the theaters and historic cafés.

Certaldo is a town with its medieval charm fully intact. Divided in two levels, Certaldo Basso and the Castello di Certaldo, you may already know it as the hometown of the great Boccaccio, and you can see his house and where he spent his childhood. In the upper part of Certaldo, stroll through cobbled streets past artisan shops, and enjoy an indescribable view of the Tuscan hills.
