Tuscany and Siena - 7 Day Self Guided Walk
Venture into the heart of central Tuscany - a landscape characterised by remote hilltop villages and scattered cypress trees, undulating vineyards and aromatic olive groves. Its gently rolling hills are familiar as the classical backdrop of Renaissance art, and its charm is changelessness, the perfect merging of medieval and modern worlds. This route takes you along ancient paths and dirt tracks, past Tuscan farms and forests, culminating in the magnificent medieval city of Siena.

Itinerary
Days 1-2 San Gimignano
Take a stroll around the medieval old town of San Gimignano, or get acquainted with everyday Tuscan life at the Piazza della Cisterna. Wandering the streets of this hilltop town is like stepping back to days of old. Alternatively, warm up with an optional circular walk through the surrounding countryside.Day 3 San Gimignano to Colle Val d'Elsa
Follow paths through forests and over Tuscany's famous hills for views of a landscape almost unchanged since the Middle Ages. Continue on to Colle Val d'Elsa - once three towns, now one - a beautiful place with districts each distinct in style and history. Industry has played an important part in the town's past, as evidenced by its 11th century canal, which was built to power the busy wheat mills and paper factories.Day 4 Colle Val d'Elsa to Monteriggioni
Continue across undulating farmland and past a fine Romanesque abbey to the hilltop town of Monteriggioni. Except for some brief work in the 16th century, little has changed within the town's ramparts since it was first built in the 13th century.Days 5-7 Monteriggioni to Siena
The final stretch leads to Europe's best preserved medieval city, following a route through forests, past castles and across open pastures. With its abundance of outstanding 14th and 15th century art and architecture, Siena is sure to keep you occupied for days. Wander down to the unique Piazza del Campo, the centre of Sienese life. This is the site of the famous Palio horse race, and is surrounded by cafes, churches and shops, the perfect place to reflect upon a wonderful week's walk.Trip Details
