4Siena, Italy

Siena is a Tuscan masterpiece, famous for its Gothic architecture and medieval charm. The city’s centerpiece, Piazza del Campo, is an impressive shell-shaped square where the traditional Palio horse race takes place twice a year.

Siena’s narrow streets, brick palaces, and majestic cathedral make it one of Italy’s most atmospheric old towns. Unlike many tourist-heavy cities, Siena still feels authentic, with local life blending seamlessly with historic surroundings.
