San Gimignano Travel Forum

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone has taken the train from San Gimignano to Florence. Where is the train station located in San Gimignano? I've been there before, but I don't remember ever seeing it. Also, do I have to change trains anywhere? Thank you for your help!

>I don't remember ever seeing it

... because there isn't one. You'll have to take the bus.

And you'll probably have to change buses in Poggibonsi.

Timetable info here:

then choose 'Toscana' from the drop-down menu, then 'Linea Firenze-Siena', which will give you a PDF leaflet.

Alternatively, get the train to Poggibonsi then the bus to S. Gim.

well, i went once by train, and you get off in certaldo. then you gotta take a bus.

the wife and I stayed in Florence in 2006. we just waltzed over to the bus station (16 platforms!) and bought tickets for San Gimignano. I recall it was about a 1 hour trip. SG is a walled city with alot of overpriced leather shops, but it is dee-lightful. we were having a cappuccino in the gorgeous piazza when we heard heavenly harp music. Then I heard a trippingly light female voice. I turned to see a beautiful young woman singing while she was playing her harp!! I thought I had already died and gone to heaven!

yes unfortunately san gimignano is touristy and tuscan people try to avoid it, but still it is nice for a day trip ;-)
