San Gimignano Climate

Located in the mountains of Tuscany, this city experiences the extremes of the four seasons. In January, the average temperature is just 9°C, while summer time temperatures often exceed 30°C. While July and August are warm, the town receives little rainfall during these ideal months for tourism.

Getting There & Around

You can reach San Gimignano by Italian public transportation. Take a bus or train out of larger nearby cities such as Florence or Siena. To arrive by car, take the Firenze-Siena road and get off at the Poggibonsi Nord exit.

This small town does not permit the passage of cars, so walking is the only option once inside the city gates. Cars can be used to explore the surrounding countryside, but tourists should be in good physical shape in order to enjoy what the town has to offer.
