Siena City Tour + Cathedral

At the appointed time, we'll meet in Piazza Salimbeni, by the Sallustio Bandini statue, to start this guided tour from one of its emblematic squares. We will then head to Piazza del Campo to discuss the famous Palio di Siena, an equestrian competition that has been held here since the Middle Ages.

We will walk through the historic center of Siena, admiring important palaces like Palazzo Tolomei and Palazzo Salimbeni. We will also see the Basilica of San Domenico, which houses a venerated relic: a mummified head.

Next, we will head to Piazza del Duomo for a guided tour of the baptistery and the Siena Cathedral. Inside, we will observe masterpieces including La Maestà of Buoninsegna and the sculpture of St. Paul by Michelangelo Buonarroti.

After an hour-long guided tour, we will conclude at the Cathedral.
