Picture a postcard: that’s Siena. The city’s well-preserved medieval centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s easy to see why. From the ornate Piazza del Campo – the heart of the city – to the narrow, winding streets and alleyways, Siena is a visual feast. The city is famed for its art and architecture, as well as its food and wine. Sample the local Chianti, or tuck into a hearty bowl of ribollita, a traditional Tuscan soup. Don’t miss the spectacular Duomo, with its striped marble facade, or the Museo dell’Opera, home to Michelangelo’s marble masterpiece, the Pietà.
