San Gimignano is famous worldwide for its beautiful towers — and every December, the "Lumiere" festival makes them shine even brighter.
Siena province, Tuscany
A skyline out of the Middle Ages
This small, romantic town, perched on a hill in Tuscany's Siena province, has 14 surviving medieval towers that create a unique skyline visible from the surrounding countryside. Once in the countryside, it feels like stepping back into the medieval era: here, time seems to stop. The heart of San Gimignano holds four charming medieval squares, its main streets, and a medieval cathedral.
