Getting there

Walking

If you are in the center of San Gimignano, head towards Piazza della Cisterna, which is the main square. From there, walk towards the Torre Grossa (the tallest tower) located at Piazza del Duomo. Once you reach the base of the Torre Grossa, take the small path that leads to the left of the tower. Follow this path as it meanders through the charming streets of the town. Continue straight until you reach a fork; take the right path that leads upwards. This will lead you to the viewpoint area where you can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Walking

Another option from Piazza della Cisterna is to head towards the Porta San Giovanni, one of the historic gates of San Gimignano. Once you reach the gate, continue walking past it and follow the signs that lead to the viewpoint. The path is well-marked and will take you past scenic hills and vineyards. The viewpoint is located a short distance from the gate, and you will be greeted by breathtaking panoramic views of the Tuscan landscape.
