Siena, in the heart of Tuscany, is one of Italy's most popular destinations, a great medieval landmark to explore.
It's both a historic site and a vibrant modern city with excellent shopping, many fine restaurants, and beautiful pedestrian lanes throughout town.
We'll show you the busy main streets, always active with lots of people, and take you to those out-of-the-way little lanes, into the quiet residential neighborhoods.
The main piazza, called il Campo, and the Cathedral, called the Duomo, are two of the most important attractions that we will explore in detail.
Siena is so well-preserved that UNESCO has designated the entire old town as a World Heritage Site, not just one building or neighborhood, but all of the old town.
UNESCO describes Siena as an outstanding medieval city that has preserved its character and quality to a remarkable degree. It's a rare example of a medieval historic town of this size. The original urban form of the city, with its 15th century street plan, has been retained along with the Gothic design of its public buildings, palaces and tower houses, which remain unchanged.
Siena is a very livable city. It's built to a human scale, covering about a square kilometer, which makes it small enough that you can easily walk from one end of town to the other in a single day and see almost all of the sites in between. There's an endless variety of interesting things to see along your way.
Siena is a small city, but crisscrossed by dozens of little lanes that provide many miles of picturesque strolling opportunities for the ambitious trekker.
Siena is divided in three districts corresponding to the three ridges it sits on, North, West and East, with the Campo in the middle, the main piazza.
3:01 Main Lane
At the north end of the main shopping lane, via Banchi di Sopra, there is a pretty little square, Piazza Salimbeni, with Europe's oldest bank founded in 1472. This main shopping street is worth walking from one end to the other, perhaps stopping for a bite at one of the attractive little restaurants along the way. And narrow side alleys will attract you with their charms.
Escape the crowds by ducking into the side alleys, as we will be showing you here.
5:32
In the middle of it all is the Campo, the great piazza of Siena. Nearly 500 feet wide and surrounded by shops, restaurants, and the towering Palazzo Publico, this is the very heart of town. It's a great place to have an outdoor meal at one of the many sidewalk restaurants that are around it. You will find the experience of eating an evening meal at twilight, sunset on the Campo, is going to be one of the highlights of your trip,
12:30
Now let's take a walk in all those little back streets of town that are so wonderful, starting on the lower west side.
You'll find that when you get off the beaten track, these little lanes are a lot more interesting. Get away from other tourists and you'll start to feel like a local.
We're going to take you walking off the grid, further away from the tourist areas, further away from views and landmarks and famous churches, and just into this lovely, peaceful, residential neighborhood. There are a few shops, there are certainly always restaurants and cafés, mostly catering to the locals who live nearby.
17:02
We continue through the little side lanes and down to the Piazza Mercato. This place was the ancient market square which still today has an outdoor produce market several times a week. This Mercato is a lovely nook of the city, just two blocks south of the Campo, the main busy square, and yet 95% of the visitors never get here.
20:47
We continue walking on other nearby lanes, especially Gilio and Rossi, and various alleys that will lead us there and take us around.
For those travelers who love to get away from the shops and stroll through quiet residential alleys, Siena offers many more possibilities.
These little byways are your gateway to enter the authentic side of Siena.
22:48 The Duomo Cathedral
The great cathedral of Siena is the Duomo, just a few minutes’ walk from the Campo. It is one of the world's most beautiful and intriguing churches. It's a must-see on your visit, loaded with astonishing architecture, sculpture and paintings. More than just a religious structure of the Duomo is the economic symbol of wealth, international trade and cultural influences.
27:47 How to reach Siena
Getting from Florence to Siena is very convenient by taking the SITA bus. Their bus station is right in the heart of Florence, across the street from the main Florence train station.

TENUTA DI STICCIANO - TOSCANA COUNTRY RESORT - AGRITURISMO, VILLA, CANTINA, RISTORANTE, EVENTI
La Tenuta di Sticciano è una tenuta storica di nobili origini nel territorio del Chianti fiorentino ed è una delle residenze del gruppo Fonti Tuscany Country Resort: un progetto prestigioso che valorizza l’autentica ospitalità in stile toscano accompagnata da tutti gli eccellenti prodotti enogastronomici che questa regione, così unica, può vantare.
Colline setose e paesaggi magici circondano la nostra meravigliosa tenuta dove la tranquillità incontra l’arte e la tradizione. L’ agriturismo si trova nel cuore della Toscana, tra Firenze e Siena, nel territorio della Val d'Elsa, noto per i suoi paesaggi collinari, ricchi di vigneti e oliveti, e per i suoi angoli medievali e poetici: la rinomata città di San Gimignano dista solo 22 km, mentre il borgo medievale e patria del Boccaccio, Certaldo, si trova a soli 10 km dalla nostra tenuta.
Che sia praticando del buon sano fitness a contatto con la natura più incontaminata, rilassandoci con un massaggio nel nostro centro spa o, semplicemente, assaporando la tranquillità con specialità locali e un buon libro in mano, presso la Tenuta di Sticciano ci sono molti modi per godere della quiete magica di una fuga in Toscana in totale sicurezza.
Il nostro amore per la zona in cui viviamo e lavoriamo e il desiderio che le future generazioni possano amarla tanto quanto noi ci porta a creare e condividere prodotti biologici, con standard qualitativi molto alti: tutta la nostra produzione che va dall’olio, al vino, alle verdure fino ad arrivare a prodotti bio pensati per la cosmesi e la cura del corpo rispecchiano la genuinità della natura e la freschezza di ogni suo ricavato. Caratteristiche che vengono, poi, portate in tavola, sia nel nostro ristorante, che nel bar della Tenuta.
Vivere nel nostro territorio anche per solo qualche giorno significa, quindi, ritrovare il tempo per se stessi e la voglia di conoscere e scoprire tutte le meraviglie di questo luogo. Significa ascoltare la musica della natura, perdersi in un tramonto e assaporare un ambiente dal fascino unico attraverso i nostri vini e cibi locali, le nostre esperienze e la nostra storia d’altri tempi.
Tenuta di Sticciano is a historic estate of noble origins in the Florentine Chianti area and is one of the residences of the group Fonti – Tuscany Country Resort: a prestigious project enhancing the authentic Tuscan style hospitality accompanied by all the excellent food and wine products that this unique region can boast.
Silky hills and magical landscapes surround our wonderful estate where tranquility meets art and tradition. The estate is located in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena, in the Valdelsa’s territory – known for its hilly landscapes, rich in vineyards and olive groves, and for its medieval and poetic corners: the renowned city of San Gimignano is only 22 km away, while the medieval village of Certaldo – also known for being Boccaccio’s birthplace – is only 10 km from our estate.
Whether it’s practicing some good healthy fitness in contact with the most unspoiled nature, relaxing with a massage in our spa center or simply savoring the tranquility with local specialties and a good book to read, at Tenuta di Sticciano there are many ways to enjoy the magical serenity of a Tuscan getaway in total safety.
Our love for the area in which we both live and work and the desire that future generations may love it as much as we do leads us to create and share organic products, with very high-quality standards: all our production ranging from oil, wine, vegetables to organic products designed for cosmetics and body care, reflect the nature’s authenticity and its freshness. Characteristics that are then brought to the table, both in our restaurant and in the estate’s bar.
Living in our territory even for a few days means finding time for yourself while discovering all the wonders of this place. It means listening to the music of nature, losing yourself in a sunset and savoring a unique and charming environment through our wines or local foods, living the moments with our experiences and breathing some ancient history.

ENG: To happy moments together... 2022, here at Agriturismo Diacceroni in Tuscany!
If 2021 were a concert and we at Diacceroni an orchestra, the conductor would now lay down his baton, stroke his restless hair, look at the empty chairs with satisfaction and then gratefully pick up a glass of our shimmering Diacceroni Brut. The violins would choose our transparent and finely pearled Prosecco, the saxophone would surely take our Chianti Riserva and the oboe, who constantly dreams of summer, our ardent Diacceroni Rosato. The director knows us well, everyone here will find the right drink. @ Breathing in deeply the bouquet from our glasses, we come to think of 2021 with its quiet start and a season like a long crescendo that has only recently given way to a sunny silence settling on the hills around Diacceroni. We imagine you in front of us, our guests, with shiny eyes and happy faces in the midst of this incredible landscape which makes Diacceroni so unique and which is filling us with gratitude. And already we begin to feel it, this joy, for the coming year, for you, for the next season and for the next crescendo... So let's raise our glasses and have a toast. To happy moments together... here at Agriturismo Diacceroni!!!
