Guided tour for families: the Castle of Monteriggioni and Colle Val d’Elsa

There is no better place than a real castle to play soldiers. We play the attackers, climb the walls and enter the gate—until we conquer the Sienese outpost. Inside the castle, we then need to defend ourselves from the top of the walls with arrows and crossbows and we must have eagle eyes to spot the enemy. The game becomes more exciting in the museum where we become real knights by wearing the ancient armors.

Our guide will accompany kids and adults on this playful visit with a language suitable for the age of the little ones; the pace of the visit will also be modulated always thinking of them. After the castle of Monteriggioni, it is the turn of Colle Val d’Elsa: a peaceful walk through the alleys and squares of this village rich in history. Colle Val d’Elsa is also the first city in Italy for the production of crystal. Your guide will escort the whole family to visit the Museum dedicated to this precious material and learn about all the secrets of processing in a workshop of glass masters: the crystal that takes shape is truly magic!

Admission fee recommended: Monteriggioni Museum in arms and Walkway of the walls.
