City Stay

Florence, Enchanting Siena & San Gimignano 2023

Florence - San Gimignano - Siena - Florence

Few regions have the charm of Tuscany. Divided between an extremely refined culture, valuable art and historical sites, and a genuine tradition of exquisite food and red wines, Tuscany has it all. We absolutely recommend Florence with its famed art galleries and unique architecture, amazing boutiques and local artisans, but you also can't miss the surrounding UNESCO World Heritage Sites of San Gimignano with its medieval towers, and Siena with its long-running ‘Palio’ horse race.
