After parking, it’s a short walk to Porta San Giovanni, which is located at Via S. Giovanni, 126.

Once you arrive in San Gimignano, follow signs toward the historic center, and you will find Porta San Giovanni located at Via S. Giovanni, 126. Be sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time for return trips.
