Where to Stay in San Gimignano: Historic Centre
best time to visit San Gimignano Staying inside the 13th-century walls puts you steps from the towers, the piazzas, and the restaurants on Via San Giovanni and Via San Matteo. You’ll need to park outside the walls (the closest car parks are P3 Bagnaia at Porta San Giovanni and P4 Montemaggio at Porta San Matteo, both 1.50 EUR/hour or 15-20 EUR/day). Most historic-centre hotels are in converted medieval buildings with limited rooms, so book well ahead.
