Why visit Siena?

Siena remains one of Tuscany's most arresting medieval spectacles, its burnt-sienna brickwork rising over the clay hills of the Crete Senesi. At the heart of the city lies the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, where the twice-yearly Palio horse race ignites fierce neighborhood rivalries. Climbing the 400 steps of the Torre del Mangia rewards you with panoramic views of tiled rooftops and rolling vineyards, while the interior of the nearby Palazzo Pubblico showcases Simone Martini’s Gothic frescoes. A short walk through the Terzo di Città district leads to the Duomo di Siena, a masterpiece of striped white and greenish-black marble housing treasures by Donatello and Michelangelo.

Siena's culinary landscape is deeply rooted in Sienese traditions. In the wood-paneled osterias of the Chiocciola contrada, diners feast on pici alle briciole, a thick hand-rolled pasta finished with toasted breadcrumbs, and rich wild boar ragù. For dessert, local pasticcerie serve panforte, a dense cake of honey, nuts, and candied fruits dating back to the 13th century, alongside chewy ricciarelli almond cookies. Pair these with a glass of local Chianti Colli Senesi to fully experience the gastronomic heritage of this Tuscan stronghold.
