Siena Walking Tour, Siena

5.0 (1 review)

Overview

Explore the historic core of medieval Siena on a walking tour. Your passionate and professional guide will lead you through the city and offer insight into its history and culture. Siena reached its demographic and economic peak between the 8th and 9th centuries, with most monuments and art depicting this glorious era. As you walk along the main street, you’ll pass grand palaces and expansive squares, all welcoming you as they’ve welcomed pilgrims and merchants throughout the centuries.

You’ll start in the main square, Piazza del Campo, the city’s natural center. Its shell-shaped heart made of bricks oozes its warm, “Burnt Siena" color. From here, you’ll continue walking to the top of the hill where the majestic Cathedral stands. Inside, you can discover exceptional works of art, including masterpieces by Michelangelo and Donatello. Next, you'll visit several other sites within the city, twisting through its medieval streets and enjoying the views!
