Itinerary and highlights

The first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about Siena is the Palio, the traditional bare-back horse race held in the city twice a year. Marvel at its peculiar shell-shape as you lay eyes on the magnificent Gothic Palazzo Pubblico. Continue exploring the quaint medieval alleys that stretch all around the historical center to relieve ancient times.

Taste the best wines produced in the Chianti Region, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar made by one of the best farmhouses in the area, together with a light lunch. A feast for your taste buds!

Marvel at the hight of the 14 Medieval towers still standing in the town that is known as the "Medieval Manhattan". Walk around and soak in the magic atmosphere of this unique town!
