Siena, another Tuscan gem, is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and its annual Palio horse race held in the main square, Piazza del Campo.
The city’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of narrow streets, grand palaces, and ornate churches. The Siena Cathedral, with its stunning facade and intricate mosaics, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Climb the Torre del Mangia for panoramic views of the city and the surrounding countryside.
One of the best ways to explore its diverse landscapes and picturesque towns is by embarking on a European river cruise. These cruises offer a unique perspective, taking you along the waterways that have shaped the continent for centuries.
