    If you do not have much time in Siena, I recommend this climb to see the full cityscape and its picturesque Tuscan landscape. The view at the top is absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, the steps to get to this incredible view are the most weathered and poorly maintained that I have so far encountered in my Paris / Italy trip. Though the stair passageway is not very narrow, many of the steps cave in and can be very dangerous to step on if you are not looking carefully. Unfortunately, it is also very dim in the stairwell, so it is hard to tell if your foot will have to drop another 3 inches to reach solid ground. As someone with unstable ankles, there were a few close calls. The steps are also very dirty, as is the flooring at the top of the tower. Lots of bird poop and dirt. I think there was dog poo at the top of the tower when I was there (I really hope it wasn't human poo). After the climb I felt disgusting and wanted to remove my clothes and shower immediately.

    Absolutely beautiful landmark in the great city of Siena. Take the long, steep and exhausting climb to the top and enjoy the fascinating views of the piazza below and the rest of the city. Just be warned, the higher you climb, the steeper the steps up. Admission to the tower is €8 or for the tower and museum is €13.

    Great architecture, although we did not go to the top there were some old statues at the courtyard for you to see. It was super busy when we went and the plaza was fill with tourists. There were also vendors at the plaza that sells sweets like chocolate bars, pretzels, restaurants and cafes all around.

    Since we were in the area, we made a quick stop to see the San Domenico Basilica. High on a hill,…read moreviews of Siena make for some nice pics. It was getting late in the afternoon by the time we reached it, as the sun hid behind the massive brick exterior and created refreshing, cool shadows. The exterior is somewhat plain, but makes up in size what it lacks in ornamentation. More of the same inside (the Dominicans aren't known for a love of bling), but pilgrims might appreciate the relics of St. Catherine. I'm not really into spare body parts, but others can find Catherine's thumb and - behind secure bars - her head! (Eew) The church has a no photos/videos policy, so no photographic memories of the interior.

    my #1 favorite spot in siena for basilica-loitering. monumental & blessedly quiet compared to the…read moremadhouse that is il duomo in the center of town. un'opportunita' per tranquillita' da non perdere! dedicated to the patron saint of siena, santa caterina, the structure of the basilica is simple, with gothic windows & a bell tower that actually still tolls. it houses some amazing art along with relics of the saint, including her dried up finger (blech!), personal self-flagellation paraphernalia (cool!) & her head, mounted & displayed in a cappella (creepy!). once you've finished your divine encounter inside, seat yourself on the steps outside & escape the crazy tuscan heat in the shadow of the basilica. the crypt opens for sunday mass. bring the whole family! & for caterina's sake, please, cover them shoulders!

    If you're fortunate enough to have your travels take you through idyllic Tuscany, then add the…read moremedieval town of Siena to your places to visit. It's one of the most visited, if not the most visited cities in Tuscany, and for good reason. It's also a UNESCO world heritage site. Inside the medieval city, you'll see the beautiful Duomo di Siena (admission charge for a visit inside), plentiful nice shopping and good places for food. Most importantly​, don't leave without visiting the Piazza del Campo. This is THE landmark site! It's a huge circular piazza where Il Palio, the famous horserace, takes place twice a year. It's also the main reason why Hubby, who loves horseracing, wanted to come see Siena. The riders all ride saddle-less in this four-day​ long race. It was also a part in a scene from James Bond's movie, "Quantam Solace". If you too are into horseracing, there's a fabulous little store, Luciano Valentini, that sells amazing prints of photos taken during Il Palio. They can ship their beautiful prints, or you can take them with you, as they will pristinely​ pack them. For Foodies and dessert aficionados​, you must try the ricciarelli cookies, which originated in Siena! Since my first visit to Italy after right college, these have been my favorite of all Italian cookies (and there are so so many different kinds!!!). And actually my favorite of all cookies! Yes, I like them better than even chocolate chip cookies. Sadly, the versions in the U.S. pale sadly in comparison, and I've tried them everywhere I see them. (Review forthcoming for A. Nannini, where I purchased great ones). Siena gets extremely touristy! We're here in later September, and there are still a good amount of tourists from all over the world. I've been here on previous visits during the peak of summer and it's almost unbearable. One of the best times to get a real sense of Siena is to see it late at night, about 11 pm and on when the hoards of tourists visiting for the day have all gone. Although the shops will be closed, it's very quiet, and walking through the streets in this medieval city will feel like you've gone back in medieval times. I did it once during my previous visits, and it was my most favorite and memorable moments in Siena.
