Stop by Colle di Val d'Elsa on your way from Siena to Florence to enjoy this charming town known for crystal glass making, exquisite restaurants, and a medieval ambiance. During summer months there are monthly first Sunday markets and glass making shows that visitors can explore. There are also museums, the old historical center, and Volterra—an ancient fortress with walkable roads, that tourists can enjoy exploring all day long.

Colle di Val d'Elsa is only thirty minutes from Siena and is easily accessible by car or bus. Some of the best sites to visit are the Civic and Diocesan Museum, Archeological Museum, and Via Della Misericordia, where visitors can watch glass blowing presentations.
