SIENA WALKING TOUR
Getting to Know the City of the Palio

Ideal for guests accommodated in Siena or on self-drive holidays. You will be joined by an expert and lively authorized local guide for a masterful city orientation and introductory tour. The mysterious medieval atmosphere of the place is immediately perceptible in picture-postcard narrow streets and quiet squares. It is as if you have stepped back in time. Draped on its three hills, Siena is indeed a very beautiful city, a flamboyant medieval ensemble of palaces and towers cast in warm, Siena-colored brick - the whole of which is dominated by the Gothic Duomo. Make an interior visit to admire the extraordinary marble floor and the masterpieces of Pinturrichio in the adjacent Piccolomini Library. Proceed to the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, where twice each year the Palio horserace has occurred for centuries. Learn about this exciting event then visit the Palazzo Pubblico. This impressive seat of Sienese government, surmounted by the taut needle of the Torre del Mangia, houses spectacular frescoes including the Allegories of Good and Bad Government.
