Welcome to Siena, where history breathes through stone streets and each step echoes with centuries of tradition.

From fountains and flags to quiet churches and vibrant piazzas, this walking adventure is perfect for families and friends looking to connect while uncovering the soul of a city like no other. Will you discover which Contrada calls to you?
