Review:

Siena is one of Italy’s most renowned tourist sites, attracting more than 163,000 international tourists annually.

The city is the capital of its eponymous province and showcases a collection of stunning brick structures from the Medieval era, including its Gothic-style Palazzo Pubblico town hall and its 14th-century Torre del Mangia tower that offers sweeping views of the city’s skyline.

Much of its character has been preserved since the 14th century, with traffic banned within its historic city center since the 1960s. Despite this, the town showcases a number of thoroughly modern attractions, including art museums, professional sports teams, and university-centric culture and nightlife. Every year, the city is home to the biannual Palio horse race, which brings together racers from the city’s various neighborhoods to complete a course around its Piazza del Campo.
