You have seventeen "contrade" that twice a year challenge each other for the Palio. You have the University, with its seven-century history. You have the Monte dei Paschi, a bank born twenty years before the discovery of America.

And, above all, you have many architectural and artistic masterpieces to admire and exquisite traditional Tuscan dishes and great wines to taste.

Siena is all of this and much more!

A municipality with more or less 50,000 inhabitants, Siena is situated in southern Tuscany.
Its province borders with those of Grosseto, Pisa, Arezzo and Florence (in Tuscany), Perugia and Terni (in Umbria), and Viterbo (in Latium).

Siena is easily reached both by car and by train, whereas the airports of Florence (Amerigo Vespucci), Pisa (Galileo Galilei), and Rome Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) are 70, 110, and 240 kilometres away, respectively.

So, if you have decided to spend your next holidays in Tuscany in a farmhouse or in a villa in Siena and you are already in Italy, you could reach the town that gave birth to Saint Catherine by car.

If you come from abroad and you do not want to waste too much time travelling, you can reach Siena by plane and then rent a car: this way you will fully enjoy your holidays.
