THE CITY

Siena is a city of contrasts - from medieval treasures found within its historic walls to modern shops and facilities located around the city. Siena is also the 'Duomo', the cathedral and the breathtaking view from the 'Facciatone'; the Pilgrim's Hall at 'Santa Maria della Scala', the Piccolomini Library and the prestigious Chigiana Academy.

Enjoy the tranquility found in the hidden back streets or experience Palio preparations, races and celebrations which go on in the main squares for over half a year.

It is a small city but has a large student population (of both Italians and foreigners), meaning that there are plenty of places to go and things to do in your free time - from bars and clubs to restaurants and pizzerie; from theatres and cinemas to museums and art galleries.
