Review of San Gimignano (Italy) by

Advantages: What a skyline!
Disadvantages: Can be very crowded
San Gimignano has been often been referred to as the Manhattan of Tuscany. No, not because the taxi drivers don't know their way around and can hardly speak a word of English, but because of the resemblance of their respective skylines due to the many soaring towers.

Super San Gimignano
Review of San Gimignano (Italy) by
rjs26
Advantages: Lots to do, relaxing, beautiful.
Disadvantages: Pay toilets, might see Tony Blair
I visited San Gimignano last summer. I cant recommed it enough. For such an amazing place it is very unspoilt and largely unfound by many visitors to the area.
It is known as the "Ancient Metropolis" as there are lots of towers remaining. Also Tony Blair takes his holiday there every year.
San Gimignano is a small town with approximately 15000 inhabitiants. 15,000 lucky people in my experiance.
There are many great shops, interesting cafe's and ...
