Montepulciano Walking Tour
Montepulciano, Italy
Why Walk Montepulciano
Montepulciano rises along a narrow limestone ridge with panoramic views over the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana. The town's Renaissance palaces, designed by the leading architects of the 15th and 16th centuries, line the steep main street that climbs to the Piazza Grande — one of the finest squares in Tuscany. Below the streets, medieval wine cellars age the town's celebrated Vino Nobile.
