2026 Siena Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

Located in the middle section of the Amalfi Coast, the houses are layered on the cliff, extending downward to the Mediterranean shore. Pink, yellow, and white small buildings are staggered along the mountain slope. Colorful houses cascade down the cliff to the azure sea, with alleys made up of steps and flower windows, capturing the "laziness and delicacy of the Mediterranean" in every photo. ▪️ Spiaggia Grande (Main Beach) The main beach facing the town, spreading out in a fan shape, offers a view of the entire Positano. At the end of the beach is a pier and seaside cafes. Looking back at the hillside, you can clearly see the houses arranged vertically along the steep slope. ▪️ Santa Maria Assunta Church A church near the sea, characterized by a colorful tiled dome and a simple facade. Inside, it preserves Byzantine-style icons and altar decorations. ▪️ Upper Viewpoints From the main beach, walk up the steps through alleys and stairways to several corners where you can see the "classic Positano view": the mountain, houses, church, and sea all in one frame. ----------------❤️💛💚💙 ❤️ The town’s roads are mostly pedestrian alleys and stone steps, with linen clothing shops, handmade sandal workshops, pottery, and lemon-themed souvenirs concentrated on both sides. The buildings mostly have thick walls and small windows, suitable for living in the hot summer weather. 💛 From Positano, you can take a small boat for a short coastal trip. Viewing the cliffs and houses from the sea offers a more complete perspective of the Amalfi Coast. Some routes connect coastal towns like Amalfi and Capri. 💚 Tested Routes ① Half-day walking route in Positano → Main beach → Exterior of Santa Maria Assunta Church and nearby small square → Walk up the steps, passing handmade shops and scenic corners → Choose a high platform to look back at the whole town. ② One-day Amalfi Coast route combination → Depart from Sorrento / Naples → Arrive at Positano via the Amalfi Coast road → Stop for walking and a simple lunch → Continue to Amalfi or Ravello 💙 Tips: · The town mainly consists of steps, so plan your itinerary with energy in mind and wear non-slip, comfortable shoes. · The summer sunlight is strong; for photos from the sea looking up the mountain, morning or evening light is softer. · Public transportation mainly includes buses and ferries. During peak season, check schedules in advance and allow time for transfers.

This year was a very lucky and joyful year to be able to travel to Italy. The sun doesn't set until 8 PM in Italy, which means plenty of time for photos! 👍👍👍 Be aware of the temperature fluctuations: it's hot midday and afternoon, and a bit cooler at night. There's a famous gelato shop in Siena that's so delicious, customers line up endlessly! 🎉 I was so moved when I finally got my ice cream! 😋🤤 We went crazy and bought a second cup! 🍨🍦 I can definitely... You said Once you've had Italian gelato, you can't go back 😂😂😂 The local pistachio flavor is the most recommended 🍦 and it's authentic (highly recommended 👍). We ordered two, each for 6.50 euros, for a total of 13 euros. But it didn't disappoint at all, it was incredibly delicious ❗️❗️❗️ I love Siena's Cathedral. Its magnificent golden facades and circular blue mirrors, along with its Gothic architecture, show traces of Catholicism everywhere. I took so many photos of different cathedrals in this scene. This is my favorite spot in Siena❗️ It's worth mentioning that there's a small Roman Colosseum-like spot here where you can take photos. It's so beautiful 🩷😍😍 I've seen people wearing roses, wearing lucky bracelets, and feeding the pigeons, but there's a fee. Italy is a world-renowned tourist destination, but you still have to be wary of pickpockets❗️❗️ However, Italians don't think feeding the pigeons is a big deal and are quite willing to buy from those selling them. Italy is packed with tourists from all over the world (just look at the photos to see how crowded they are 🤣🤣). Please remember to carry all valuables inside your jacket 👍 and avoid traveling alone. Stay with travel companions to be on the safe side ❗️ #Italy 🇮🇹 #Italia #Siena #travel #travelholic #poptour #poptour #SienaDuomo #CoolTravelExperiences #PhotoGuide #100WaysToTravel #europetrip #icecream #gelato 🍦

🚗 Transportation: Don't Let the Train Drive You Crazy, Self-Driving is the Best** The beauty of Tuscany is hidden in the country roads that even navigation systems can't find. Rent a small car (a Fiat 500 is the most appropriate) and drive through the rolling vineyards and sunflower fields. Any shot you take will look like a sequel to "Under the Tuscan Sun." ⚠️ Warning: Tuscan drivers drive like they're in "The Fast and the Furious." I recommend buying full insurance. Don't ask me how I know. --- 🏡 Accommodation: Can't Afford a Castle🏰? Then Stay on a Farm! Want to experience the life of a medieval aristocrat without emptying your wallet? Agriturismo (farmhouse B&B) 🏨 is your savior! - ✅Recommended: - ✅Fattoria Poggio Alloro (near San Gimignano) – Stay in a vineyard, with breakfast included and wine🍷 tasting. The owner might even get you tipsy. - ✅Podere San Lorenzo (near Siena) – Super cheap old stone house where you can see the stars at night and be woken up by a rooster🐔 in the morning (vintage alarm clock⏰, free!). 💰 Price: €50–€80/night, cheaper than a hostel in Florence! --- 🍝 Food and Drink: Tuscans Teach You "Carbs with Carbs" The Italian logic for eating: **"Not enough bread🍞? Have some more bread!"** 1. Must-try foods: - ✅Ribollita (vegetable and bread soup) – It's basically just leftover bread stew, but the Tuscans have turned it into a non-material cultural heritage food. - ✅Pici Cacio e Pepe (thick noodles + cheese + black pepper) – Even better than in Rome, the noodles are thick enough to jump rope with. - ✅Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine T-bone steak) – I recommend sharing one steak between three people, otherwise your wallet will be "grilled" like the steak. 2. Wine🍷 Freedom: - ✅Chianti Classico – You can buy a decent bottle for €5, cheaper than mineral water! - ✅Brunello di Montalcino – Pretend you know a lot about wine, take a sip and say, "Hmm, I can taste the oak." (Even if you can't taste anything) 3. Money-saving tips: - ✅Go to an Enoteca (wine bar) for lunch, order a glass of wine and get free snacks, enough to fill you up! - ✅Buy Prosciutto (ham) + Pecorino (sheep cheese) + bread from the supermarket. A picnic is 100 times better than a restaurant! 🍞 --- 🎪 What to Do: Besides Daydreaming, What Else Can You Do? 1. Florence: - ✅Uffizi Gallery – See Botticelli's "Primavera" and think, "Why isn't my life this beautiful?" - ✅Piazzale Michelangelo – Climb up and pant like a dog, but the sunset is so beautiful that you'll forget who you are. 2. Siena: - ✅Piazza del Campo – Lie on the ground and bask in the sun, pretending to be a medieval tax-evading merchant. - ✅Siena Cathedral – The black and white stripes look like a pedestrian crossing. Walking inside makes you feel like you're about to travel through time. 3. San Gimignano: - ✅Medieval Towers – Your legs will be weak when you climb up, but the view will make you forget your fear of heights. - ✅Gelateria Dondoli (World Champion Ice Cream) – The pistachio flavor is so good you'll want to change your name to "Pistachio." 4. Val d'Orcia: - ✅Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta – Take a photo like the "Windows desktop" wallpaper. - ✅Bagno Vignoni Hot Springs Town – Soak in the same hot springs as the ancient Romans and imagine you're Caesar (but your wallet is a slave). --- 💡 Ultimate Money-Saving Tips - ✅Don't eat in the scenic area. Walk a few steps into the alley and the price will be cut in half. - ✅Buy a Tuscany pass to enter churches and museums. It's cheaper than buying tickets individually. - ✅Learn a few Italian phrases: "Quanto costa?" (How much does it cost?) + "Troppo!" (Too expensive!), and the owner might give you a discount.

📍Piazza del Campo Piazza del Campo, shaped like a fan, is the only concave building in the world, and is architecturally quite significant! There is a wonderful observatory, the Mangia Tower, and the Palazzo Pubblico in Piazza del Campo, so it would be great to go into any cafe in the square and have a cup of coffee while looking around! 💡Good Tips ✔️The Palau Festival (horse racing festival) is held every July and August. If you visit during this period, you can see the stone floor of Piazza del Campo transformed into a racecourse! The fact that the dirt was dug up and made into a racecourse just for the racecourse...🫢 ✔️Siena is divided into 17 villages. When the horse racing festival is held, you can see the flags symbolizing each village and people wearing scarves from their respective villages. The festive atmosphere and colorfulness are so cute and exciting - ! #March travel subsidy event #Overseas travel #European travel

#1月好去地方2025 When I went to Tuscany in central Italy, I visited the ancient city of Siena, which is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. This medieval autonomous city-state has completely preserved its original appearance, allowing travelers who step into the old town to feel the scenery and history of Siena in the past. After half a day of walking around, Siena must-visit attractions: ✓Siena City Hall Palazzo Pubblico The brick-red city hall is a lovely building. The square and round windows of the main building actually form a lovely face. The lively expression seems to be smiling and welcoming. The towering bell tower standing next to it seems to be waving to tourists. Piazza del Campo, the Shell Square in front of the Town Hall, is an important venue for the horse racing festival. In a corner next to it, there is also a happy fountain, Fonte Gaia. ✓Siena Cathedral Duomo di Siena If the most popular tourist attractions in Asia are temples, then the most popular tourist attractions in Europe are churches. The black and white marble walls, the standard Tuscan Gothic style, and the intricately carved stone sculptures are extremely beautiful and are not inferior to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Spend €3 to visit the interior and you will be able to experience the magnificence and shock. Siena is a beautiful mountain city, which is like walking into the medieval Europe. However, the stone steps are not easy to walk up and down, and it is also a test of tourists' leg strength, especially when dragging luggage. It will be crazy to arrange a half-day tour to visit with light luggage, which will make the trip much more relaxing and comfortable. #italytravel #siena

Italy's Tuscany 🇮🇹 has a Mediterranean climate, and February is winter. Although the temperature is not particularly low, around 5-15°C, it rains a lot. Imagine you plan to walk in the fields and enjoy the iconic pastoral scenery, but it rains all the time, which will not only affect your experience, but also make the beautiful scenery less attractive. Moreover, the grass has not completely turned green at this time, and the scenery does not have that vibrant feeling. · 🎈Best time to visit The best time to visit Tuscany is actually from April to October. From April to May, wildflowers bloom all over the mountains, and the green grass is like a huge velvet carpet. The pastoral scenery is full of spring vitality. September to October is autumn, when grapes are ripe, making it a good time to experience grape picking and wine making, and you can also see the autumn scenery. · 🏰Attractions 🔺Siena: A medieval-style town, the shell square in the ancient city is a must-see. The famous Siena Horse Race Festival is held here every year. 🔺Florence: The birthplace of the Renaissance, the Uffizi Gallery houses a large number of Renaissance paintings, and the Michelangelo Square offers a panoramic view of the city. 🔺San Gimignano: Famous for its many towers, it is known as the "Medieval Manhattan". Walking on the ancient streets, you will feel like you have traveled back in time. · 🍷Food recommendations 🔺Florentine steak: Made from local Chianina beef, it is tender and juicy, grilled to medium rare, and the aroma of the meat fills your mouth with every bite. 🔺Tuscan bread soup: Made with stale bread, vegetables, and olive oil, it is rich in flavor and a traditional local delicacy. 🔺Tiramisu: Although its origin is controversial, Tuscan tiramisu has its own unique flavor. The sweet mascarpone cheese and coffee liqueur-soaked ladyfingers are very satisfying. · ✅Recommended itineraries (Transportation + attractions + guide) 🚩Florence round-trip 💰San Gimignano + Chianti + Siena 💰Leaning Tower of Pisa + San Gimignano + Siena 💰Montalcino + Pienza + Montepulciano 💰Val d'Orcia + Pienza + San Gimignano 💰San Gimignano + Siena + Pienza + S/Cypress Avenue 🚩Rome round-trip 💰Montepulciano + Sant'Antimo + Pienza 💰Orvieto + Civita di Bagnoregio + Montepulciano 💰Pienza + Montalcino + Sant'Antimo

Incredibly stunning cathedral in Siena.

#Overseas Travel In the medieval city of Siena in Tuscany in central Italy, we stayed at the small hotel Albergo Bernini. As soon as I stepped into the small hotel, I didn't expect that it would bring me endless surprises! The hotel is located in an old house built in the 13th century. It is full of old European style and is decorated with nostalgic furniture from the past. Go up to the balcony on the top floor of the hotel and you can have a panoramic view of the medieval city of Siena! This is arguably the most beautiful spot to take a closer look at charming Siena. Plus the price is affordable and the location is convenient, it feels great! It's just that the walls are a bit thin and the sound insulation is not very good. #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

Thanks to my parents who work in Italy, I've been to many Italian cities since I was young! If you ask me which city I liked the most, I can answer 'Siena' right away✨ Siena is a relatively large city in Tuscany, but it's not very famous, so there aren't many tourists...! However, it's a great place because there are many things to see and you can feel the depth of Italian life👍 A city surrounded by walls! There's a train that goes directly from Florence Santa Maria Novella Station, so I highly recommend visiting it at least once🧡 The tourist attraction in the photo is Piazza del Campo in Siena! It's one of the most beautiful squares in the world👏 In the next post, I'll write about the most beautiful square in Italy, 'Piazza Navona'😊 📍Siena Campo Square 📍Il Campo, 53100 Siena SI #Italy travel #European sensibility #Hidden travel destination #Small city travel #Life travel destination #Must-see historic site

The 💛Siena Cathedral in Siena, central Italy, has a gorgeous exterior, and the interior’s black and white horizontal striped columns and marble puzzle floor are stunning. There are many works of art masters inside the church, including statues of Michelangelo, Bernini and Donatello. #goout #italy #siena #goout

Piazza del Campo in Italy, a leisurely place to stroll around, see Gothic historical buildings, surrounded by restaurants, the atmosphere is great, worth a visit👍👍👍👍 #外游

#OverseasTravel Another small attraction in Siena. To be honest, I don’t know what it’s called. But the atmosphere is really full of emotion. The weather was great again. #Overseas Travel

Sitting on top of a big butte of volcanic tuff, Orvieto retains large signs of its Etrurian past, so much so that the first thing that stood out to me was the light brown tones across its alleys and its roads. The Duomo cathedral is the main attraction. The church was built in the 14th century and is dedicated to the Ascending of the Virgin Mary. Aesthetically it might remind you of the more famous Cathedral of Siena, obviously because of its roman-gothic style! This one in Orvieto is one of the most significant in Italy. Don’t miss a visit to another landmark of note, like Torre del Moro for a sunset view of the town and the surrounding hills, Pozzo di San Patrizio and Fortezza Albornoz! Since we are in Umbria, food plays a unique role. Local cuisine is highly appreciated thanks to its cured meats and other traditional dishes. If you’re planning a road trip across Italy, don’t miss this part of the country for its authenticity. #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #umbria #orvieto #awesomepic #travel #town #oldtown

This is a huge building located in the heart of Siena old city, which is reachable by bus for about an hour from Florence. It is usually where people sit down and relax, since there are many cafes as well around #happynewyear #italy #happynewyear

Siena is a city near Florence, famous for its history and also architecture. To visit, usually we can find some one day tour package where Siena is included in it. It is quite big but maybe 1-2 hours are enough to see the main buildings. #happynewyear #happynewyear

Siena is not as famous as Florence, but it is located close to Florence. It is one of the old city which in history it used to be Florence’s opponent in terms of development. As we can see, they also have a Duomo (cathedral) which look similar to Florence, but due to some reasons they couldnt finish building it. The city itself is very beautiful and hilly, so be ready to climb up and down #HalloTrip
