Surrounded by the olive groves and vineyards typical of the Chianti area, Siena is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Italy. The historical centre, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, features plenty of wonderful spots and buildings which are truly worth admiring, from the Gothic-style Cathedral to the famous Torre del Mangia in Piazza del Campo, often referred to as one of best medieval squares in Europe. This is a city where every stone has remained the same through the centuries thanks to the unique handing down of mysterious and spectacular customs through the generations. The most striking expression of such customs is surely the Palio, a twice-yearly occurrence in which the city’s neighborhoods, known as contrade, compete in an audacious horse race around Piazza del Campo. The atmosphere of the Palio days permeates the city throughout the year and you can discover the traditions and stories related to this amazing event by simply strolling around the city.

This afternoon, meet your private English speaking driver and reach Siena. Here you will meet your private English speaking guide for 3-hour walking through one of Italy’s loveliest medieval cities. You will explore this amazing town still mostly looking as it did in the 14th century. The three hills amid which the city rests rise up like an idyllic film set, the old boundaries soften like the past into a countryside that sometimes still seem like the scene painted by Ambrosia Lorenzetti in the Allegory of Good Government in the halls of Siena’s city hall. Siena reached the pinnacle of its splendor in the Middle Ages, in a centuries-long rivalry against Florence. In only a few decades the striking City Hall was erected, the Torre del Mangia, the breathtakingly beautiful Piazza del Campo was paved with travertine ribs, and the famous Cathedral was constructed.

This is a city where every stone has stayed the same down the centuries thanks to the unique handing down of mysterious and spectacular customs through the generations. The most striking expression is the Palio, a twice-yearly occurrence in which the city’s neighborhoods, known as contrade, compete in an audacious horse race around Piazza del Campo.
