  “ Siena is worth a visit at any time of the year, but obviously the twice-yearly Palio horserace (2 July and 16 August) is the tourist highlight. The mediaeval city center doesn’t like like it has changed much since the middle ages and the city is a delight to walk around. The main square,… more the Piazza del Campo is oddly fan-shaped and slopes into the bargain. It is one of the nicest squares in Italy I think, but its beauty was in my view marred slightly by too many tacky souvenir stalls. The Palazzo Pubblico on the square is famous for its pre-Renaissance frescoes, which are well worth seeing, as is the climb up to the bell tower. Not for the lazy or elderly perhaps, but the views over the city from the top are fantastic. Siena’s cathedral is also well worth visiting - it is probably one of the most beautiful in Italy - the marble floors are amazing, as is the gilded dome. There are lots of other things to see in Siena so if you get the chance, stay a while!close

  “ Great medieval Tuscany town, very easy to walk around. Excellent for sightseeing and for people who like history and architecture. Tuscany is fantastic and the people are great: easy going, laid-back and hospitable.

  “ Beautiful place. One of the best piazzas ive seen in Italy, spent hours sitting there. Lovely places to eat. Easy to get to with trains. Italy doesnt seem to have much of a night scene but the cafe culture is great.
