All about Siena
When to visit
Siena is an open-air museum with excitement year-round. You’ll find chilly, wet days in winter and soaring temperatures in summer, however, so the milder spring and fall are ideal. The city is at its most festive for the historic Palio horse race held yearly in the main Piazza del Campo on July 2 and August 16. Art enthusiasts should time their visit for late summer when the marble mosaic cathedral floor is uncovered for viewing.
Getting around
Traffic is restricted (or banned) in most of Siena’s old town, but this small city is easily covered on foot. Most visitors arrive by train from Florence, and there is a local bus that connects the train station to the old town above in about 10 minutes. For those arriving by car, there is ample parking in a number of dedicated areas around the old town perimeter—from there, it’s a quick, uphill walk to the main sights.
Traveler tips
Siena’s Palio is one of Italy’s most revered historic festivals. The main event is a no-holds-barred bareback horse race around a temporary track in the city’s shell-shaped main square (June 2, August 16). Riders from 10 of the city’s 17 contrade, or districts, participate, but many don’t finish—the winner is the first horse to cross the finish line, rider or not. The Sienese are passionate and fiercely loyal to their contrada and favored horses.
