@thisworldtraveled: Looking for a charming Tuscan town to add to your Italy itinerary? 🇮🇹🍷 This beautiful medieval hilltop village located in the heart of Tuscany is known for its terracotta buildings, cobblestone streets, and panoramic countryside views. It’s a quieter alternative to some of Tuscany’s more famous towns and makes an easy half day trip from Florence! We even combined it with an afternoon in San Gimignano! Here are some of the best things to do: 🏰 Explore Certaldo Alto, the historic medieval village surrounded by ancient walls.
🚠 Ride the funicular from the lower town up to the historic center.
🏛️ Visit Palazzo Pretorio, a historic palace decorated with colorful coats of arms and centuries of history.
📚 Visit Casa Boccaccio, the home and museum dedicated to famous Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio.
📸 Wander the narrow streets, discover hidden courtyards, and admire the traditional brick architecture.
🍝 Stop at a local trattoria for authentic Tuscan food and regional specialties.
🍷 Enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine while taking in the rolling hills of the Val d’Elsa countryside. 🚆 How to get there from Florence: Take a direct train from Firenze Santa Maria Novella to Certaldo. The journey takes around 50–60 minutes, making it an easy day trip without renting a car. 📍 Save this for your next trip to Tuscany!
