Description
Siena UNESCO World Heritage
Siena is a famous medieval city nestled among the rolling hills of Tuscany. It is a place where the echo of medieval life still resonates in its cobblestone streets. Known worldwide for the horse race "Il Palio " the origins date back to the 13th century. It is a festive tradition celebrated twice a year, in July and in August. An entire community "le contrade " participates at the event with devotion and sense of belonging.
Things to see in this itinerary: Piazza il Campo, Torre il Mangia, Palazzo Pubblico, the Cathedral in honor of the Lady of the Assumption, some famous Contrade. The tour includes a pleasant walk in the street food district, with a free tasting of various food products, such as la "Schiaccia " a sort of Focaccia and the local cookies. All the food products have designations of origin, which are legal labels that guarantee geographical indication and unique characteristics (DOP, IGP, STG ) . At the end of the excursion your guide will give tips for the best gelato in Siena.
Meet your guide and fellow walkers in Piazza San Domenico outside the Basilica San Domenico.
In this time of the year is not possibile the free tasting of Ciaccia ( a sort of Focaccia ) due to the overturism. The iconic " Salumerie " or " Osterie" are very busy.
