What to expect
Expect a steady two-hour walk at a moderate pace through San Miniato's compact historic centre. Your guide will stop regularly at key sites—churches, piazzas, fortifications—weaving together architectural detail with the town's medieval power struggles and its modern fame for white truffles. You'll visit working neighbourhoods, not just postcard spots, and learn how food traditions survive here. Bring comfortable shoes and water; the cobblestones are uneven in places.
Good to know
Public transport links exist nearby. Prams and strollers work on most routes but streets remain steep in sections. Not suitable if you have spinal problems or significant heart concerns. You'll need reasonable fitness to manage the inclines. Coffee or tea is provided; other refreshments are your own cost.
