I think it'd be a shame to come to Monteriggioni and not climb on the walkway of the old walls. I believe we paid Euro 6 or 7 each, and that gave us access to the small but well-documented museum (it has a lot of the history of the place as well the reconstruction of some of the structures and the armors). If I remember well it has write ups both in English and Italian. Plus, you get to walk on the 2 sections of walkways. Some of the low-score reviews for the walls point to the fact that one walkway was closed, but even if only one was accessible it would have been worth it to me. The views of the countryside and of the town, the atmosphere, the architectural details of the walls....beautiful.

Lovely quiet town atop a small hill. Beautiful scenery with rolling hills around. Highly recommend the checking out the small museum as it comes with the fee to walk the walls. Just enough information to feel like you learned a bit without miles of text. Gelato always hits the spot. Paid and free parking just below the hill, reasonably priced at 2 euro for 90 minutes or so. A must see town!

Scam! You have to be lucky to visit the top of the wall. Mostly on Monday (whole day) and Friday (in the morning) IN THEORY. We went there on a Friday at 11am and it was already closed. There are many more beautiful places with even better view in the toscana area than Monteriggioni.

Gorgeous town! Want to come back and stay longer

This cute little village stole my heart. With an around 500 meters long wall around it it’s probably the smallest village I’ve ever seen. But we found everything we were looking for there. The scenery around the village is absolutely beautiful! You can climb up the wall and have a great view around. When we were there there was a little market with handmade things were we found a beautiful ring - which I am wearing everyday since today (at least for 3 years now). I absolutely recommend to stop here for a while!

Very tiny beautiful town up in the mountains.

Beautiful location.

Everything was perfect, we loved our experience here! My mother and I took the colorino tour. The tour of the vineyard and the winery were really interesting, the guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. Everything we tasted was great. I personally loved the younger red and white wine, while my mother preferred the old red, everything is great and it's just a matter of taste. We both loved the dessert wine and the cantuccini. We would love to come back, spend more time here (we had to leave in a hurry to catch the bus) and share this experience with other loved ones! Thank you for your passion and care!

We visited the winery today and were not too impressed. We didn’t have a reservation and we felt lucky they were able to accommodate us inside for the 15€ wine tasting, not really the case. We got a very rushed description of the wines we could choose from (you can pick 3) without any written description, menu or similar. The wine servings were quite generous and all 3 wines were fairly good (least favorite was the rosé). We didn’t get an appetizer of any kind with the wine. They were preparing the room for an event and we felt quite rushed, whole thing lasted probably around 30 minutes. In summary, maybe it would have been better for them to tell us they could not take us without a reservation.

We got a tour of the winery and learned their process for making wine! The food and wine were AMAZING. This is definitely worth the stop if you are going to Monteriggioni.

Do not miss this family owned and operated winery & restaurant in Monteriggino when you visit Tuscany! Fabulous wine, delicious food and beautiful views of the vineyard and the Castle di Monteriggioni. Great quality and quantity! ✨🍷

Perfect meal from starter to main dish And dessert. I would recommend the reserve wine, pork main dish and cheese cake is just amazing. Must try.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. Staff is really friendly and professional. Great atmosphere. Not to mention, the food is perfect and great wine. Highly recommended.

The owner of this cellar are very kind and inclusive. She took the time to talk to the group in Italian and then translated to English, just for my daughter and I. We really appreciated it. On top of that, the Restaurant is quite lovely and picturesque, and the food was exquisite!

Very nice small fort in tuscany. Mentioned even by Dante Alighieri in his works. And yes it was in game Assassins Creed 2, but it is just completely different there :)

Monteriggioni was once an outpost, existing to provide an early warning system for the defense of Siena from incursions by Florence. Kind of the equivalent of a frontier town in the American Old West. Within the ancient city's walls (which you can still climb atop) are several small streets and old stone facade buildings that have been there a long time. Among these is the Chiesa di Santa Maria, which dates from the 1200s. An afternoon stroll through these preserved and reconstructed relics is like being on a movie set for a film set in the Middle Ages. Only now they sell postcards, gelato and crafts rather than sever limbs. Highly recommend visiting here.

Awesome place to visit. There's a structure built on the walls so you can tour and enjoy the country side landscape views from the top

Nice stop not far from the highway. We spent an hour here looking around, shopping and had lunch. Worth a stop.

Nice small church in beautiful medieval town-fortress.

One of those places where Religious sensitivity feels so strong that your every step is a delicate process!

This romanesque-gothic church located in Piazza Roma.
