San Gimignano Off The Beaten Path

At the end of Via San Giovanni, just in front of the Torre dei Cugnanesi you can see a very small tower called Torre dei Campatelli with its palace.

Siena is not my favorite city, but if you have not been there, then decide for yourself. Most people love it.

A great way to see the Tuscan countryside is to walk around the wall of the city. It has a well-worn path and you can really get an apreciation of the majesty of Tuscany.

If you are driving around the San Gimignano area you will see some spectacular scenery. The countryside in this region is really lovely. There are plenty of places for photo opportunities.

From the place where the artists are you can see few towers - this on the picture is one of them.

True, this place is far away from the crowd you see at Via San Giovanni or Piazza del Duomo for example.
The place here is calm, peaceful and of course worth of seeing.

...or something like that are a good viewing point! You will have a nice view over the towers from here. It´s a bit outside the main tourist area, behind the duomo.
