Piazza del Campo is a must-see in Siena. This (very) large, oval shaped “piazza” is a popular gathering place for locals to meet with family, friends, and classmates. You will probably notice Sienese locals resting on the wide slopes, which lead to Palazzo Comunale and Torre del Mangia. The vibrant square is also home to an annual palio horse race, an epic competition between the different neighborhoods of Siena!

exploring Siena as you please, it is recommended you take some time to visit the heart of the city - the Siena Cathedral. As you walk up to the church, you will immediately notice the breathtaking facade decorated colorfully in pink, green, white, and black marble. Constructed in the 1200’s, this is a perfect example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Inside the Cathedral, take some time to admire the unique floors filled with marbled mosaics, depicting biblical stories on 56 different scenes. As you look up, you will see masterpieces throughout the church from Renaissance masters including Donatello, Pisano, Pinturicchio, and Michelangelo. Stroll through the grandiose atmosphere inside, and before exiting, don't forget to stop in the hidden gem of the Cathedral - the deep-colored frescoes of the Piccolomini Library!

Then, indulge in a home cooked pasta dish, all made with local products from the region. And the best part - your dinner will include a tasting of various high-quality wines, including Chianti Classico.
