Siena Italy Features

Although most people spend their Italian vacation in the holy trinity of Italian cities - Venice, Florence, and Rome, Siena is a city in Tuscany, Italy. It is the capital of the province of Siena. The historic centre of Siena has been declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site. It is one of the nation's most visited tourist attractions, with over 163,000 international arrivals in 2008.

Siena is a medieval city in the region of Tuscany, located in the north of Italy some 70 km south of Florence. It is probably best known for a colourful horse races. SIENA is the perfect antidote to Florence, a unified, modern city at ease with its medieval aspect, ambience and traditions.
It's a place not easily read by outsiders, and to get anything meaningful from a visit you'll need to stay at least one night; too many visitors breeze through on a day-trip. Self-contained behind its medieval walls. Piazza del Campo is really the heart and soul of the city, where everything happened and continues to happen.
Trattoria in the heart of Siena has been a reference point for anyone looking for Tuscan specialities for the past 50 years.
