It is believed that Siena was founded by Senius, the son of Remus, one of Rome’s founders. Did you notice the resemblance in the names? It’s also evident on the city’s emblem, which is the she-wolf who suckled Remus and Romulus, whose statue you can find throughout the town.

Soon after, Siena flourished as a medieval city-state, evolving into a banking and trading hub. Known for its Gothic architecture, this town faced decline after the 1348 plague and was eventually incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

Today, Siena’s historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is described as “a masterpiece of dedication and inventiveness”.

Bring modest clothing

Religious sites have a dress code, so pack accordingly. For instance, the Cathedral of Siena requires women to wear a dress that covers their shoulders and chest. Hats are also not allowed inside. If you don’t want to spoil your trip, be sure to have clothes that follow these dress codes.

Lastly, it’s helpful to learn a few basic Italian phrases to communicate well with the locals and download a navigation app to avoid getting lost.

Known for its shell shape, the piazza is surrounded by buildings, including the Palazzo Pubblico and its towering Mangia Tower. This bustling square is also the site of the Palio, a historic horse race that captivates both locals and tourists.

Observe Siena from a bird's-eye view

To do so, head to the Torre del Mangia, which offers panoramic vistas of the city and its surrounding Tuscan countryside. From this vantage point, you can see how Siena’s red-roofed buildings blend into each other and appreciate landscapes that you don’t get to see every day.

Enjoy traditional Sienese cuisine

Some of the must-try dishes in Siena are pici all’aglione (a Sienese pasta made from water and flour, usually served with tomato and garlic sauce), _panforte _ (a dense spiced cake with honey, dried fruits, mixed nuts, and spices), and ricciarelli (cookies with almonds, egg white, and honey).

No trip to Siena is complete without trying an espresso

Indulge in the Italian tradition of drinking espresso. Find a café, perhaps one overlooking the Piazza del Campo, and savor the flavors of a freshly brewed espresso. It’s the perfect way to relax and immerse yourself in the local ambiance, even if you’re a frequent espresso drinker.
