Montalcino, a medieval village in the province of Siena, is a place that invites you to immerse yourself in a slow tourism experience. Its trails, such as the Brunello Crossing and the Granfondo del Brunello, offer the opportunity to explore the region both on foot and on two wheels. The well-preserved historic center of Montalcino can be explored on foot without difficulty. As you approach Montalcino, don't miss its fortress, one of the main attractions of the Val d'Orcia.

Montalcino is a wonderful medieval village that absolutely deserves a visit before departure, it is better to leave your bicycle safe and visit it on foot.

Montalcino is actually too good to just cycle through. The small town in the province of Siena is packed with sights. Churches, a fortress, remains of a historic city wall, the whole city is practically a single sight... and then there's the wine: the Brunello di Montalcino is world-famous - this is where it comes from. Do as the Italians do and relax with a fresh espresso.
