    What to do in Siena?

    27 August 2025

    Siena is a city that touches you from the moment you step inside its city walls. It is one of Italy's best-preserved medieval cities and exudes history, culture, and tradition. Where Florence can feel grand and busy, Siena is more intimate and atmospheric, as if you have stepped back in time. But what is there to do in Siena? The answer: lots. From the famous Piazza del Campo and the impressive Duomo to small streets where you can experience the real Tuscany.
