Arriving in San Gimignano: The Walls, the ZTL and Where We Drop You
San Gimignano’s historic centre sits inside its medieval walls, and most of it is a limited traffic zone (ZTL). Visitors arriving by bus or rental car usually stop at the car parks outside Porta San Giovanni and walk uphill with their suitcases.
With a Rome to San Gimignano private transfer you don’t need any of that. As a licensed NCC operator, we are authorised to enter the ZTL, so your driver takes you to the door of your hotel inside the walls. Only where the street is pedestrian-only, such as around Piazza della Cisterna, do we stop at the closest point and help you with the luggage. Villas and agriturismi in the countryside around the town are door to door, even on gravel roads.
About San Gimignano: Towers, Frescoes and Vernaccia Wine
San Gimignano is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Italy, and its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rich families once built more than 70 towers here to show their power; 14 still stand today, giving the town its famous skyline. You can climb the Torre Grossa, the tallest, for a view over the Tuscan hills.
- Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza del Duomo: the two main squares, with the old well and the Collegiata church, covered in medieval frescoes.
- Vernaccia di San Gimignano: the local white wine, made in the vineyards around the town for centuries. Many estates offer tastings.
- Gelato: San Gimignano’s gelato shops are famous, and the town is a classic stop on any Tuscany trip.
