Visiting Siena

Nestled atop three hills and surrounded by an imposing medieval wall, Siena offers visitors a history rich enough to rival Florence's, but with far fewer touring crowds. Here, amongst pastry shops and pizzerias, visitors stroll narrow alleyways and street markets on their way to the Piazza del Campo—the city's town square and site of the world-famous Palio horse race, which has been held here every July and August since the 1300s.
