Many local shops fill the historic streets of Siena, a great opportunity for you to taste local food or buy some gifts!
Duomo di Siena (Pass by)
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is the main location of Catholic worship in Tuscany, and the diocese of Siena. The building is located in the square of the same name in the centre of the city. Built in Italian Gothic style, it is one of the most significant and spectacular churches built in Italy.
Piazza del Campo (Pass by)
Piazza del Campo (or simply, il Campo) is the main square of the city of Siena. Unique for its particular and original seashell shape, it is renowned all over the world for its beauty and architectural integrity, as well as for being the place where the Palio di Siena takes place twice a year.
Monteriggioni

Chianti Road

The SS222 road, better known as Chiantigiana, is one of the most beautiful roads in Italy. It crosses the entire Chianti region, from Florence to Siena. Driving it is a great way to discover the area. We will drive along this panoramic road in a northerly direction, starting from Siena and reaching San Gimignano. The area is full of castles and villages, we will stop to admire the incredible views and take some photos of the green hills between vineyards and olive trees, in a panorama that has remained from the medieval/Renaissance period.

The wine "Super Tuscan, Chianti, and Vernaccia" will accompany this lunch at every stage of the journey. Each of the four main courses and dessert will be paired with a different and distinctive glass of wine. We will conclude with a fabulous dessert.

Above all, it is famous for its ancient towers, which still stand out from its skyline, earning it the nickname Manhattan of the Middle Ages. Don't forget to stop by the famous Dondoli ice cream shop, winner of many awards for the best ice cream in the world. This is the last destination of the day, before returning to Florence.
