Full description
Discover this medieval city on a 2-hour guided walking tour.
Your fascinating discovery of such a beautiful city will start from the stunning Piazza del Campo, dominated by the imposing Palazzo Pubblico. Next, visit the contrada's museum and oratory and experience Siena's authentic atmosphere. The Contrade are the districts that make up the town and act as a core of local social life; each contrada has its own traditions, flag, anthem and more.
The Museum of the Contrada and its oratory house a wealth of wonderful relics, including historical documents, works of art and artifacts of the famous Palio, (a horse race held twice each year), in honor of the assumption of Mary.
The tour ends by the gorgeous Cathedral, located in the highest point of the city. Those who wish can include in their visit the guided tour of its gorgeous interiors and Libreria Piccolomini.
When the contrada's museum and oratory are not accessible, you will visit another site of particular historic and cultural interest.
