BusVia Firenze invites you to explore the true essence of Tuscany, blending art and history. We will lead you to San Gimignano, also known as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages" due to its numerous towers punctuating the skyline. San Gimignano has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and as you wander through this marvelously preserved city, you'll understand why – it's like taking a step back in time!
The journey continues through the Tuscan countryside to Siena, where your experience begins with a visit to this charming town, renowned to be a famous example of Gothic art. You'll wander through the narrow streets of the city's 17 historic districts, known as "Contrade", each with its distinct identity, emblem, and history, as well as its own traditions. Take a leisurely stroll in Piazza del Campo, the renowned setting for the Palio di Siena horse race. The breathtaking Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Duomo di Siena, is the other main attraction of this city. Its façade is impressive, but the real magic lies within. Natural light illuminates masterpieces by Michelangelo and Donatello, and many others Sienese artists.
