Monteriggioni: A Half-Day from Siena

# Monteriggioni: A Half-Day from Siena

Monteriggioni is a tiny walled village 20 minutes north of Siena. The complete medieval walls are intact. You can walk the entire town in 10 minutes.

Key facts

• Bus 130 from Siena (toward San Gimignano): 30 min, ~3 euro.
• By car: 20 minutes via the superstrada.
• Walking the walls (paid): ~5 euro, 15 minutes, includes a small museum.
• Best as a 2-3 hour stop, not a full day.
• Lunch at a trattoria inside the walls — limited options but reliable.

What I tell visitors

Combine with San Gimignano for a full day trip. Both fit comfortably in one day.
