Why Stop in Siena

The Heart of Medieval Tuscany

Siena is unlike anywhere else in Italy. Built on three hills and enclosed within its original medieval walls, the city has changed remarkably little since the 14th century. No motorways pass through it, no modern buildings interrupt the skyline — just towers, palaces and churches in warm terracotta stone.

The Piazza del Campo is one of the most extraordinary public spaces in Europe — a vast shell-shaped square that slopes gently toward the Palazzo Pubblico and its soaring Torre del Mangia. Twice a year it becomes the arena for the Palio, the famous bareback horse race that has defined Sienese identity for centuries. Even on a quiet afternoon, the piazza has an energy that is impossible to forget.

To visit the Cathedral, the Museo dell'Opera and the other monuments of Siena, tickets can be purchased in advance online — we recommend booking ahead, especially in high season. Buy tickets for Siena's museums and monuments →

Adding Siena to your private transfer is straightforward. Whether you are travelling between Florence and Rome, heading to or from the coast, or simply exploring Tuscany at your own pace, our driver will plan the timing so you have two to three hours to explore freely before continuing your journey.
