Siena is a city of winding streets, red roofs and an ambient dolce vità that invites discovery. A must-see when visiting Tuscany!

Moreover, the greatest attraction of the city is the Duomo di Siena, about eight centuries old! The sculptures and paintings stored there are priceless.
About 50 metres further on is the Piazza del Campo. Every year this square hosts the Palio of Siena, a horse race that takes place the 2nd July and 16th August. You cannot miss this festival if you happen to be in Tuscany during those dates!
If after visiting the wonders of Tuscany you would like to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, you must visit the green Tuscan countryside.
The Chianti Valley, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and traces the history of Tuscan wine, is a must-see.
The road that crosses this valley is the Chiantigiana, which has been passing through the villages of Greve in Chianti and Castellini in Chianti for centuries. It takes you naturally into the history of Italian Tuscany, between Etruscan and Roman ruins, baroque country houses and vineyards. Therefore, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
