AttractionsYou can buy a cumulative ticket that covers the Torre Grossa and its Museo Civico; the little Pinacoteca painting gallery in the Palazzo Pubblico; the tiny Museo Archeologico detailing the region's Etruscan era and the adjacent Spezieria Santa Fina (a preserved Renaissance pharmacy); the Galleria d'Arte Moderna modern art gallery; and the weird little Museo Ornitologico, a couple of glass cases containing stuffed birds in the dimly lit confines of a tiny, deconsecrated church -- basically all the museums in town except the Collegiata, the Museo d'Arte Sacra, and the privately run Torture Museum. The cumulative ticket costs 7.50€ adults and 5.50€ ages 6 to 18 and over 65. Prices listed below are for individual entries to each. Take a Hike -- The tourist office sponsors guided walks through the countryside April through October, 2 to 3 days a week (usually weekends), costing 10€ to 15€ per person. Because the country edges right up to San Gimignano's walls, you could also easily set out on your own to wander with a good map -- the tourist office also sells a map and catalog marked with suggested hikes and walks, or you can pick up a regional map from any of the local souvenir stands. A Great Point of View -- Behind the Collegiata, the remains of the city's 14th-century fortress, the Rocca, are now a public park. Climb atop the crumbling ramparts for a view of the surrounding farmland and the best panorama of San Gimignano's towers.
