This beautiful city is known world-wide for the Palio, an age-old horse race where everything is allowed if it serves to bring honour to one's contrada, or district. On the journey from Florence you can enjoy the unique landscape... the Siena hills, the vineyards, the villages and castles... and Siena itself will not fail to impress you... you will see Piazza del Campo, the Torre del Mangia and the narrow little streets of the historical centre that will take you back in time.
Siena is also an exciting art centre where you can visit museums, exhibitions and frequent art shows. If it's delicious food you're after, Siena is the place for you: its typical dishes include mouth-watering pici with duck meat sauce and cakes such as panforte, ricciarelli or the extra sweet Baci of Siena.
