SIENA

Me atop the tower overlooking the main square and Duomo. Dinner that night was one of the best meals I've had in Italy!
Spend a relaxing morning sipping café and people watching in sunny Il Campo, the main square of SIENA. (SITA is the best way to get here.) Buy a combo-ticket to climb the City Tower for breathtaking views of Toscana and visit the Museo Civico to see Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s 1340 Effects of Good and Bad Government. Then stroll to the impressive Duomo to admire the stunningly vivid early 1500s frescoes and manuscripts within the Piccolomini Library. Also check out the Baptistery for the work of Donatello and Lorenzo Ghiberti as well as the Duomo Museum for Duccio’s stained-glass rose window and another panoramic view. But make sure you’re outside at dusk to soak up the beauty of Siena at twilight and spend some time wandering through the medieval streets. For an unforgettable dinner, Paolo at Papei in Piazza Mercato will take care of you.
