Tour description

Are you visiting Siena for the first time and want to discover the most significant places of a city that was one of the most important economic and cultural centers of the Italian Middle Ages?

Free Walking Tour Siena, off the beaten track, is the visit for you! We will start from Piazza della Posta, near the Metropolitan Gallery. We will begin by paying homage to Saint Catherine , at the Basilica of the same name, where her relics rest. You will hear a lot about her. We will then enter Contrada dell'Oca - we will talk about the Palio and the long and complex tradition that surrounds it. Afterwards we will go down to Fontebranda for a bit of refreshment, and then go up to Piazza del Duomo , dominated by Santa Maria della Scala , the oldest hospital in the world. The tour will have its natural conclusion in the monumental Piazza del Campo , the beating heart of Siena culture and an extraordinary architectural setting in which the famous Palio di Siena takes place twice a year.
