A Brief Travel Guide for Holidays in Siena


What can you do, see, eat and sip if you decide to rent an apartment or a villa in Siena ?


This brief travel guide to Siena will help you answer this and other similar questions.

First of all, you will have a brief introduction to the town, which every year thousands of Italian and foreign tourists choose as the final destination for their holidays in Tuscany.

Some pages are dedicated to its history, its folkloric events (the Palio, above all) and to Christmas and Easter feasts.

Special attention is paid to culture, with pages dedicated to Siena palaces, churches and museums, but also to the odours and flavours of its traditional dishes and to the wine, which completes and exalts them.

However, while spending your holidays in Siena, you can do much more than visiting the Terzi - the three districts Siena is divided into - and the contrade (if you love thrill, read the page dedicated to ghosts and legends).

Not only is the countryside that surrounds the town scattered with Tuscan holiday farms and farmhouses - which can be rented for one or more weeks -; it is also dotted with small picturesque medieval villages, such as San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Montalcino, Pienza, that are well worth a visit.

Some pages of this guide to Siena are especially dedicated to women tourists: from those containing some pieces of information for spending a day in a spa to those with pieces of advice about shopping in Siena.

The last page of this travel guide contains a series of useful links for your holidays in Siena!
