the 18th district: Travel Diary - TUSCANY

When we travel, it's important for us to have a balance between relaxation and sightseeing. So after spending our first full day by the pool till the afternoon, we decided to visit San Gimignano in the evening.

San Gimignano is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Tuscany and registered in the list of Unesco's worlds cultural and natural heritage. It's also called the medieval Manhattan, because of its many tower houses, which look like ancient skyscrapers. San Gimignano is a must see in Tuscany and beside Sienna, it's definitely one of my favorite towns.

When on holiday and sightseeing, it's important for me to dress comfortable and stylish. For this evening I chose a simple beige/black dress, a hat (my it-piece for my vacation) and my beloved Chanel bag.

One Insider tip for you guys, try out the Osteria Del Carcere, a great typical Osteria loctaed in one of the wonderful ancient buildings with heavenly food. Their pineapple salad with fresh Pecorino and pinenuts, as well as their almond cake are delicacies.

After our wonderful dinner at Osteria del Carcere we enjoyed a wonderful public opera concert of a local orchestra on the Piazza del Duomo. We sat on the steps of the church and enjoyed the italian lifestyle at its fullest. Watch a short Instagram video here ;)
