Siena – Tuscany's Medieval Rival

Siena is one of Tuscany's most atmospheric cities and Florence’s historical rival, known for its well-preserved medieval soul. A stroll through its narrow, winding streets unveils palaces, Gothic churches, and small squares where time seems to stand still. The city's landmark is the magnificent cathedral, Duomo di Siena, featuring black-and-white marble, art treasures by Michelangelo, and breathtaking views from the façade. The heart of the city is the Palio square, Piazza del Campo, a shell-shaped plaza where the famous Palio horse race is held twice every summer. Siena is not just history, but also vibrant traditions, local pride, and Tuscan gastronomy that together create an intense and authentic travel experience.
