You’ll find that Siena is really a beautiful and unique medieval city. The famous Piazza del Campo, with its unusual shape, and the majestic Torre del Mangia will surely impress you!

You can reach the beautiful hilltop town of
Montepulciano, located to the south of Siena, by taking a train from Siena train station to Chiusi-Chianciano Terme station. Once there, take the bus that will take you right in Montepulciano’s historical center.
