Tuscan Arches Await: province of Siena adventure

Dreaming of medieval charm and awe-inspiring piazzas? 🌅 My recent province of Siena adventure delivered just that! Think jaw-dropping squares, iconic civic art, and quirky museums—all in walkable reach. Top Spots to Visit in Siena: 1. Croce del Travaglio (Via Banchi di Sopra, open all day) — Start here: it’s the lively junction of Siena’s main streets, perfect for people-watching and snapping those classic street scenes. 2. Loggia della Mercanzia (Via di Città, 2, open all day) — Soak up the elegance of this open portico with stunning arches right at the heart of old Siena. 3. Piazza del Campo (Il Campo, open all day) — The city’s beating heart! Don’t just pass through, linger here with a coffee while scanning the unique shell-shaped square—epic both day and night. 4. Palazzo Pubblico and Museo Civico (Il Campo, 1, opening hours vary but generally 10:00-19:00 in summer) — Check out world-class frescoes inside this gorgeous medieval town hall. Buy tickets before 18:15 during peak season! 5. Museo Civico (Il Campo, 1, 10:00-19:00) — Dive deeper into Siena’s civic history, with vibrant art and panoramic tower views. 6. Museum of Torture Siena — Not for the faint-hearted, but ultra-memorable. Get a glimpse of creepy, medieval justice for a daytime thrill! Tips: • Siena is super walkable—bring comfy shoes for those cobbled streets! • Most attractions are open year-round, but double-check opening hours before heading out, especially in winter or on public holidays. • Piazza del Campo is perfect for sunset or an early-morning stroll to beat the crowds. Getting Around: Walking is your friend here. Buses connect outer areas but inside the city, expect narrow, pedestrian-friendly lanes. Food: Look for local trattorias near Piazza del Campo—try pici pasta and Siena’s legendary panforte! #sienatrip #italytravel #medievalvibes #piazzadelcampo #eatinsiena
