Looking for somewhere off the beaten track and found San Miniato. Caught the train from Pisa and then a taxi up from San Miniato train station (€12) to the old town. Walked to the top of the hill and scaled the tower (€3.5/p) and rewarded with superb views. Well worth a visit but note that the buses don’t seem to run on Sundays, hence the taxi.

A most attractive hill top town on the main railway line between Pisa and Florence. There is a free bus every few minutes from the railway station to San Miniato Alto, but there also appeared to be ample, easy parking. A small easily walkable town, it is off the beaten track as far as tourists are concerned, and prices are correspondingly lower. But it is well worth a day or even just part of a day, since there is plenty to see and the place has a long history. There is an Information office on the main square but local students have done a stunning job producing an App, from which you can scan details of the main attractions, such as the Rocca di Frederico II, the Palazzo del Seminario in the P.za della Republic and many more. Last year I visited and reviewed San Gimignano, which I found overcrowded and expensive. Of similar size, this is a far better alternative if you are in the area.
