Travel to Spellbinding Siena
One of the cities in stunning Tuscany, and quieter than Florence, Siena is well worth spending time in. Whilst there are numerous day trips to this charming medieval destination, Siena has a lot to see and do both in the centre and the surrounding countryside This makes it an ideal base for exploring the rest of the Tuscany region.
Like Florence, the key to Siena's appeal is the art and architecture. This unique city is home to an ethereal gothic style of buildings and art galleries and has been preserving this across centuries. The main square is simply magical and all of the districts feel steeped in charm and history. There are also incredible boutiques, cafes and restaurants lining the cobbled streets too. All of this makes it a Purpose Travel favourite.
Some of the best things to do in Siena:
-
head to the Pinacoteca Nazionale art gallery, home to a huge Gothic art collection
-
wander the atmospheric Piazza del Campo and grab a coffee and aperitivo at one of the numerous cafes
-
walk up to the hills surrounding the city to take in views of the sweeping countryside
-

-
book a wine tour at one of the beautiful vineyards in the Siena region
