Today we leave for a day trip to Siena, an ancient city famous for the Palio and for being one of the oldest universities in Europe.
The transfer from Florence to Siena will take you through the Chianti area with its vineyards and fortified villages of the Middle Ages, a landscape that cannot fail to fascinate the visitor.
In Siena, a guide will be waiting for you who will make you discover the historic center still surrounded by the original walls, Piazza del Campo, the Duomo and the former hospital of the Pilgrims which in recent decades has become the Santa Maria della Scala museum. Free lunch. The afternoon is free. Before leaving, we recommend a stop at the Agricultural Consortium which offers a selection of the best local products including the cinta senese, pici, ricciarelli and the excellent wines that the Province of Siena produces (Brunello di Montalcino, Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti, Vernaccia di San Gimignano).
The day in Siena will be challenging due to the inevitable slopes that the historic center presents but the effort will be fully compensated by the emotions that this city can offer.
