Siena self-guided walking tour
Siena: Of Popes, Turtles, and Rivalries
Wander through the brick-paved labyrinth of Siena, where medieval rivalries and Renaissance vanity shaped one of Italy's most preserved cityscapes. This tour balances the grandeur of the shell-shaped main square with the quiet secrets of the Jewish Ghetto and the fierce pride of the neighborhood Contrade. You will experience the city's golden age through its eccentric popes, legendary battles, and the architectural 'Big Turtle' that hides in the shadow of the town hall.
