In many ways Siena is an intimate, smaller version of Florence.
Just an hour away, across the patchwork hills of Chianti, it is
an equally breathtaking display of Gothic architecture, Renaissance
palazzos and Tuscan art. Within its medieval walls lies a maze of
curving, narrow streets with enough nooks and crannies to keep you
occupied for days. Naturally, food is essential to your cultural
experience and the Sienese will have you believe their town is the
origin of many Tuscan specialities. But when all's said, done and
eaten, the only thing that matters is your very full, and satisfied,
stomach.
Plus Points:
Beautiful heart of Tuscany
Abundance of art & architecture
Most places within walking distance
El Palio festival in July / August
Additional cookery option at school
