Tuscany's Siena is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy and although it's a bit in the shadow of Florence or Pisa, away from the main tourist routes, don't miss a visit.
Siena's extraordinary location in the idyllic rolling countryside of the Tuscan hinterland highlights its concentrated beauty - there are so many historical sites in a small area that you'll want to keep coming back to discover new places.
Siena is brimming with medieval palaces, beautiful squares, steep narrow streets and several iconic churches. Take a day trip here, but feel free to make a romantic weekend getaway.
