Together with Florence and Pisa, Siena is one of the most important art cities in Tuscany, having kept its medieval beauty.

The guided tour will allow you to explore its untouched charms. From the medieval town hall to the Mangia Tower in Piazza del Campo, and from the outstanding San Domenico Basilica to the Cathedral. You’ll personally experience a sense of pride that has been jealously guarded by this little Tuscan town. You’ll truly appreciate the occasion by visiting the interior of the Cathedral with its treasures by Nicola Pisano, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Donatello, Pinturicchio, and Gianlorenzo Bernini. You’ll admire the famous marble floors, a unique representation of art history, and the beautiful Piccolomini Library.

You’ll definitely become a supporter of the city that hosts the Palio!
