After soaking in the charm of San Gimignano, you will proceed to the legendary city of Siena. Known for its rich history and the world-famous Palio horse race, Siena is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Explore the magnificent Piazza del Campo, one of Europe's greatest medieval squares, and visit the stunning Siena Cathedral, which houses works by artists like Michelangelo and Donatello. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories about the city’s rivalries, traditions, and artistic evolution.
