2025 Siena Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

🚗 Transportation: Don't Let the Train Drive You Crazy, Self-Driving is the Best** The beauty of Tuscany is hidden in the country roads that even navigation systems can't find. Rent a small car (a Fiat 500 is the most appropriate) and drive through the rolling vineyards and sunflower fields. Any shot you take will look like a sequel to "Under the Tuscan Sun." ⚠️ Warning: Tuscan drivers drive like they're in "The Fast and the Furious." I recommend buying full insurance. Don't ask me how I know. --- 🏡 Accommodation: Can't Afford a Castle🏰? Then Stay on a Farm! Want to experience the life of a medieval aristocrat without emptying your wallet? Agriturismo (farmhouse B&B) 🏨 is your savior! - ✅Recommended: - ✅Fattoria Poggio Alloro (near San Gimignano) – Stay in a vineyard, with breakfast included and wine🍷 tasting. The owner might even get you tipsy. - ✅Podere San Lorenzo (near Siena) – Super cheap old stone house where you can see the stars at night and be woken up by a rooster🐔 in the morning (vintage alarm clock⏰, free!). 💰 Price: €50–€80/night, cheaper than a hostel in Florence! --- 🍝 Food and Drink: Tuscans Teach You "Carbs with Carbs" The Italian logic for eating: **"Not enough bread🍞? Have some more bread!"** 1. Must-try foods: - ✅Ribollita (vegetable and bread soup) – It's basically just leftover bread stew, but the Tuscans have turned it into a non-material cultural heritage food. - ✅Pici Cacio e Pepe (thick noodles + cheese + black pepper) – Even better than in Rome, the noodles are thick enough to jump rope with. - ✅Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine T-bone steak) – I recommend sharing one steak between three people, otherwise your wallet will be "grilled" like the steak. 2. Wine🍷 Freedom: - ✅Chianti Classico – You can buy a decent bottle for €5, cheaper than mineral water! - ✅Brunello di Montalcino – Pretend you know a lot about wine, take a sip and say, "Hmm, I can taste the oak." (Even if you can't taste anything) 3. Money-saving tips: - ✅Go to an Enoteca (wine bar) for lunch, order a glass of wine and get free snacks, enough to fill you up! - ✅Buy Prosciutto (ham) + Pecorino (sheep cheese) + bread from the supermarket. A picnic is 100 times better than a restaurant! 🍞 --- 🎪 What to Do: Besides Daydreaming, What Else Can You Do? 1. Florence: - ✅Uffizi Gallery – See Botticelli's "Primavera" and think, "Why isn't my life this beautiful?" - ✅Piazzale Michelangelo – Climb up and pant like a dog, but the sunset is so beautiful that you'll forget who you are. 2. Siena: - ✅Piazza del Campo – Lie on the ground and bask in the sun, pretending to be a medieval tax-evading merchant. - ✅Siena Cathedral – The black and white stripes look like a pedestrian crossing. Walking inside makes you feel like you're about to travel through time. 3. San Gimignano: - ✅Medieval Towers – Your legs will be weak when you climb up, but the view will make you forget your fear of heights. - ✅Gelateria Dondoli (World Champion Ice Cream) – The pistachio flavor is so good you'll want to change your name to "Pistachio." 4. Val d'Orcia: - ✅Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta – Take a photo like the "Windows desktop" wallpaper. - ✅Bagno Vignoni Hot Springs Town – Soak in the same hot springs as the ancient Romans and imagine you're Caesar (but your wallet is a slave). --- 💡 Ultimate Money-Saving Tips - ✅Don't eat in the scenic area. Walk a few steps into the alley and the price will be cut in half. - ✅Buy a Tuscany pass to enter churches and museums. It's cheaper than buying tickets individually. - ✅Learn a few Italian phrases: "Quanto costa?" (How much does it cost?) + "Troppo!" (Too expensive!), and the owner might give you a discount.

This year is a very lucky and happy year to be able to travel to Italy at the end of April The sun in Italy doesn't set until 8pm The time to take photos is long👍👍👍 Taiwan is 6 hours ahead of Italy✔️ The temperature difference between morning and evening is large in the season from April to May❗️ Hot in the afternoon, slightly cool at night Once again, there is a famous ice cream shop in Siena that is much better than the one in Taiwan🤣🤣🤣 I won't buy FamilyMart ice cream anymore 😂 I can tell you with certainty You can't go back after eating Italian ice cream😂😂😂 The most recommended local pistachio flavor is very authentic~ We ordered two drinks, 6.5 euros each, a total of 13 euros But it didn't disappoint at all, it was super delicious❗️❗️❗️ I really like Siena's Cathedral, with its magnificent walls and round blue mirrors. It is a Gothic building with traces of Catholicism everywhere. I took many photos of different cathedrals in this scene. This is my favorite attraction in Siena❗️ Currently, I have seen rose parties, lucky bracelet parties, and feeding pigeons also require fees. Italy is a major tourist country in the world, but you still have to be careful of thieves❗️❗️ But Italians think feeding pigeons is nothing. I am willing to buy from people who sell feed. There are many tourists from all over the world in Italy (just look at the photos to see how many people there are 🤣🤣) Please be sure to carry all valuables in your bag inside your coat👍 And don't be alone, walk with your travel companions to prevent accidents❗️ #Italy 🇮🇹 #Italia #Siena #travel #travelholic #poptour #bobocheckin #Siena Cathedral #TravelCoolExperience #Photography Guide #100 Ways to Travel #europetrip #icecream #gelato 🍦

📍Piazza del Campo Piazza del Campo, shaped like a fan, is the only concave building in the world, and is architecturally quite significant! There is a wonderful observatory, the Mangia Tower, and the Palazzo Pubblico in Piazza del Campo, so it would be great to go into any cafe in the square and have a cup of coffee while looking around! 💡Good Tips ✔️The Palau Festival (horse racing festival) is held every July and August. If you visit during this period, you can see the stone floor of Piazza del Campo transformed into a racecourse! The fact that the dirt was dug up and made into a racecourse just for the racecourse...🫢 ✔️Siena is divided into 17 villages. When the horse racing festival is held, you can see the flags symbolizing each village and people wearing scarves from their respective villages. The festive atmosphere and colorfulness are so cute and exciting - ! #March travel subsidy event #Overseas travel #European travel

#1月好去地方2025 When I went to Tuscany in central Italy, I visited the ancient city of Siena, which is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. This medieval autonomous city-state has completely preserved its original appearance, allowing travelers who step into the old town to feel the scenery and history of Siena in the past. After half a day of walking around, Siena must-visit attractions: ✓Siena City Hall Palazzo Pubblico The brick-red city hall is a lovely building. The square and round windows of the main building actually form a lovely face. The lively expression seems to be smiling and welcoming. The towering bell tower standing next to it seems to be waving to tourists. Piazza del Campo, the Shell Square in front of the Town Hall, is an important venue for the horse racing festival. In a corner next to it, there is also a happy fountain, Fonte Gaia. ✓Siena Cathedral Duomo di Siena If the most popular tourist attractions in Asia are temples, then the most popular tourist attractions in Europe are churches. The black and white marble walls, the standard Tuscan Gothic style, and the intricately carved stone sculptures are extremely beautiful and are not inferior to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Spend €3 to visit the interior and you will be able to experience the magnificence and shock. Siena is a beautiful mountain city, which is like walking into the medieval Europe. However, the stone steps are not easy to walk up and down, and it is also a test of tourists' leg strength, especially when dragging luggage. It will be crazy to arrange a half-day tour to visit with light luggage, which will make the trip much more relaxing and comfortable. #italytravel #siena

Incredibly stunning cathedral in Siena. The exterior of the cathedral is beautiful, elegant, and pretty impressive. ❤️ I didn’t have a lot of time in Siena, and did not manage to go inside of the cathedral, which was a pity.

#Overseas Travel In the medieval city of Siena in Tuscany in central Italy, we stayed at the small hotel Albergo Bernini. As soon as I stepped into the small hotel, I didn't expect that it would bring me endless surprises! The hotel is located in an old house built in the 13th century. It is full of old European style and is decorated with nostalgic furniture from the past. Go up to the balcony on the top floor of the hotel and you can have a panoramic view of the medieval city of Siena! This is arguably the most beautiful spot to take a closer look at charming Siena. Plus the price is affordable and the location is convenient, it feels great! It's just that the walls are a bit thin and the sound insulation is not very good. #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

Thanks to my parents who work in Italy, I've been to many Italian cities since I was young! If you ask me which city I liked the most, I can answer 'Siena' right away✨ Siena is a relatively large city in Tuscany, but it's not very famous, so there aren't many tourists...! However, it's a great place because there are many things to see and you can feel the depth of Italian life👍 A city surrounded by walls! There's a train that goes directly from Florence Santa Maria Novella Station, so I highly recommend visiting it at least once🧡 The tourist attraction in the photo is Piazza del Campo in Siena! It's one of the most beautiful squares in the world👏 In the next post, I'll write about the most beautiful square in Italy, 'Piazza Navona'😊 📍Siena Campo Square 📍Il Campo, 53100 Siena SI #Italy travel #European sensibility #Hidden travel destination #Small city travel #Life travel destination #Must-see historic site

The 💛Siena Cathedral in Siena, central Italy, has a gorgeous exterior, and the interior’s black and white horizontal striped columns and marble puzzle floor are stunning. There are many works of art masters inside the church, including statues of Michelangelo, Bernini and Donatello. #goout #italy #siena #goout

#OverseasTravel Another small attraction in Siena. To be honest, I don’t know what it’s called. But the atmosphere is really full of emotion. The weather was great again. #Overseas Travel

Sitting on top of a big butte of volcanic tuff, Orvieto retains large signs of its Etrurian past, so much so that the first thing that stood out to me was the light brown tones across its alleys and its roads. The Duomo cathedral is the main attraction. The church was built in the 14th century and is dedicated to the Ascending of the Virgin Mary. Aesthetically it might remind you of the more famous Cathedral of Siena, obviously because of its roman-gothic style! This one in Orvieto is one of the most significant in Italy. Don’t miss a visit to another landmark of note, like Torre del Moro for a sunset view of the town and the surrounding hills, Pozzo di San Patrizio and Fortezza Albornoz! Since we are in Umbria, food plays a unique role. Local cuisine is highly appreciated thanks to its cured meats and other traditional dishes. If you’re planning a road trip across Italy, don’t miss this part of the country for its authenticity. #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #umbria #orvieto #awesomepic #travel #town #oldtown

This is a huge building located in the heart of Siena old city, which is reachable by bus for about an hour from Florence. It is usually where people sit down and relax, since there are many cafes as well around #happynewyear #italy #happynewyear

Siena is a city near Florence, famous for its history and also architecture. To visit, usually we can find some one day tour package where Siena is included in it. It is quite big but maybe 1-2 hours are enough to see the main buildings. #happynewyear #happynewyear

Siena is not as famous as Florence, but it is located close to Florence. It is one of the old city which in history it used to be Florence’s opponent in terms of development. As we can see, they also have a Duomo (cathedral) which look similar to Florence, but due to some reasons they couldnt finish building it. The city itself is very beautiful and hilly, so be ready to climb up and down #HalloTrip

Siena Cathedral is a medieval church in Siena, Italy, dedicated from its earliest days as a Roman Catholic Marian church, and now dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. Since the early 13th-century the Siena Cathedral has been an important part of the Sienese identity. The interior houses priceless masterpieces, a real treasure chest of works of art, starting with the pulpit of Nicola Pisano (1265-68). In the Piccolomini altar you can admire four sculptures by Michelangelo: Saint Augustine, Saint Piero, Saint Pius and Saint Paul

Piazza del Campo was created to become a meeting place for citizens for various activities such as markets, games and political events. A universal symbol of Siena, with its particular shell shape, it is only one of the reasons why the historic centre of the city became a UNESCO heritage site in 1995. The main square of Siena was built on the intersection between three roads that led to the city, its architectural shape as well as the buildings that overlook it is not accidental: in 1297 the Municipality outlined a special regulation

Santa Maria della Scala is located in Siena, Italy. Now a museum, it was once an important civic hospital dedicated to caring for abandoned children, the poor, the sick, and pilgrims. Revenues were earned partially from bequests and donations from the citizens of Siena, particularly the wealthy. Among the most important works, there are frescos by Bernardino Fungai and Giovanni di Paolo, as well as a statue of the Madonna and Child by Jacopo della Quercia. In conclusion, Santa Maria della Scala is one of the most interesting and evocative places in Siena, a real treasure of the city.

There are places and people that remain imprinted in the mind and surely the visit to Lastra will be one of them. Wine is not a simple product. Yes, of course, it follows a specific production phase, it has its own supply chain, but behind it it contains something much more. Wine is made of earth, sky, wind, weather and above all wine is made of people. And the visit to the La Lastra winery is an example of how important it is not so important what you drink, but WHO you drink. Renato and Nadia opened the doors of their cellar, their farm, their house, but also a little of their lives and for this I feel like to thanking them infinitely, because what we made is one of those visits that remain in the heart.
