Things to Do in Siena: Local Guide
Medieval Siena revolves around the spectacular shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race has electrified the city twice a year since 1644. The UNESCO World Heritage centre, striped cathedral, and labyrinthine medieval streets make Siena one of Italy's most rewarding cities to get lost in.
