Unlike other Italian destinations boasting medieval splendor, Siena isn't a tiny castle-town but a thriving and very chic city. While little of its exterior, harking back to the 15th century-Siena's golden age-will remind you of Italy's modern pulse, its enthralling culture, refined wine-bars and restaurants, and lively student life will do so rather effectively. But existing just beside a spirit of progress and innovation is a desire to preserve Siena's very rich cultural roots. To do this, not only does the city hold grand festivals like the famous Palio, but also the greatest care is paid to restore its many historical wonders so that the world will always be able to see why Siena is so dear to the Italian people!

When you arrive in Siena you'll immediately think that you've somehow accidentally stumbled upon a medieval film's movie set. But right when you expect to see a knight in shiny black armor, you'll be confronted with a Prada outlet situated in a 14th-century building! This is Siena, the perfect blend of the 21st century and this great city's enduring history and traditions. You see, the Piazza del Campo, where you'll take your morning coffee in exquisite fashion is the site not only for political protests but also for Siena's time-honored Palio! And little do you know, but that guy who filled your wine glass with the absolutely sublime garnet nectar called Chianti Colli Senesi is as dogmatic in his desire to challenge and advance Italian society as he is anxious to preserve his city's heritage.

This is not a paradox, but a tactic of looking to the future while keeping Siena's identity intact at all times. The result: a city of the most dynamic sort where we, the vacationers, are at liberty to enjoy! Speaking of which, explore Siena's rich collections of medieval and Renaissance art at the Civil Museum and the architectural genius of its Duomo. Then, to work up an appetite, make the arduous climb up the imposing Torre del Mangia, the dominant fixture of the Sienese skyline, which offers a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding countryside. But now you are famished, so be sure to find a suitable restaurant that allows you to sample the best of this city's gastronomy; and, on at least one occasion, be sure to visit the Enoteca Italica Permanente to eat and drink in dramatic style!
