Siena

Siena, culturally rich and historic medieval city, is situated in Tuscany, northern Italy. Although a small city, there is much to see in Siena, which is best known for Il Palio, a horse race like no other which takes places twice annually during the summer. Also on the must see list is the Palazzo Pubblico, a city hall and museum, and the Duomo, a breathtaking Italian Romanesque Cathedral. Siena, perhaps unsurprisingly, boasts a range of restaurants specialising in the finest Tuscan cuisine, offering both traditional fare and Sienese specialties.
