Day 1: Historic Heart & Sunset Views

Morning: Begin at the iconic Piazza del Campo, where you can soak up the lively atmosphere and admire the medieval shell‑shaped layout. Climb the nearby Torre del Mangia for sweeping views over the city, then wander into the magnificent Duomo di Siena to admire its striped façade and stunning frescoes.

Afternoon: After a light lunch, visit the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo to see original sculptures and artworks that once adorned the cathedral. Continue to the tranquil Basilica di San Domenico, home to the relic of St. Catherine, before strolling through the lush Orto dei Pecci garden for a peaceful break.

Evening: Wander the winding streets of Siena’s historic centre, stopping at a traditional osteria for a hearty Tuscan dinner. End the day with a short walk up to the Fortezza Medicea to enjoy a memorable sunset over the rolling Tuscan hills.
