Siena

Step into the timeless beauty of Siena, Tuscany’s most captivating medieval jewel, where the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo—one of the world’s most stunning public squares—sweeps dramatically beneath the soaring Torre del Mangia and the black-and-white striped marble façade of the Duomo, a Gothic masterpiece bursting with intricate frescoes, golden mosaics, and Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures.

Wander the narrow, rose-hued streets of the historic center—a UNESCO World Heritage site—lined with grand palazzi and hidden courtyards, feel the electric anticipation of the twice-yearly Palio horse race that turns the city into a living spectacle of color, flags, and centuries-old contrada rivalries, or climb the Facciatone terrace for breathtaking views over Siena’s terracotta rooftops and rolling Chianti hills—all in a perfectly preserved city that feels like stepping into a living painting of the Middle Ages.

Savor pici pasta with rich wild-boar ragù, sweet panforte, crisp Vernaccia di San Gimignano wines, and almond cantucci amid warm Sienese hospitality, lively enotecas, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that celebrates its traditions with fierce pride and genuine joy.
