Good one again! I haven't been to Siena but seems like a town rich in history with beautiful buildings - as so many towns in Italy. The tower brought memories of visiting leaning towers in Bologna.
I was looking for a video on Siena, so i watched some but yours was the best documented for an overview of this very nice city. Great work behind well appreciated. I am now a new follower ;)
Oh wow! Thank you for this tour. I did a culinary study abroad in the summer of 2022 and this video brings back sweet memories. I actually sat on the bench at 6:55 mark, walked where you walked, and enjoyed the scenery just as you did. You are correct - evening time is even better. The best part of Sienna is the people.
Hey Ariel, thanks for commenting and I'm really pleased you liked the video. I really enjoyed spending the day in Siena - as the title says it was my favourite place on the short trip I took to Tuscany. Funny you should mention that bench, that's where I sat and ate my packed lunch, I can't remember if I mentioned it in the video but what a fantastic view! Hope your studies went well and thanks again for watching!
Loved the Romulus and Remus statue in the opening sequence. The views from the tower of Mangia were just stunning, the old rooftops were just gorgeous, but when matched with the gorgeous day you got and the really lovely choice of music - thoroughly enjoyed it, but sorry to hear there was a time limit and that you had to come down earlier than you'd hoped - do you know if that's a COVID thing to help manage numbers of if it's always like that? The panoramic walk was excellent - very well named. The water fountain was amazing, and that shade of blue was very unexpected, and the koi even more so! I can understand why it's your favourite place in Tuscany, it's stunning, has a cool history and didn't feel overrun with tourists either. 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! I thought it was about time I rolled out the Italian themed music, what better place to use it than in Siena! It was a shame about the time limit, the tower was not that busy - in fact whilst I was up there I only saw a few other people and towards the end I was the only one at the top. I think they may be limiting the numbers due to COVID but there didn't seem to be many tourists trying to get up there. I bought my ticket and was able to go straight up, no queues, no worries. I did wonder if they were closing up for a lunch break or something like that. I loved the water fountain too, thought it was the best find of the day as I suspect plenty of others walk straight by it.
Thanks for watching, Jo. I know how you feel regarding the steps, I could have done with a sit down once I got up there! 😂 It was a shame I couldn't have had a little longer up there, I was the only one up there towards the end and there wasn't anyone else waiting to go up. I did wonder if maybe they were closing for a lunch break of something like that.
You know what? I don't think I did, or at least I can't remember doing so. I usually do so maybe it was closed for one reason or another. Sounds incredible though, will have to go back and look at my photos to see if I took any inside.
Beautiful, i work in duomo and in palazzo pubblico. I want to say that Siena in 13/14 ° century was one the most important italian and european cities and famous was the rivalry with Florence (Guelfi and Ghibellini). Battle Of Monteaperti (Siena Vs Florence) was one of the most important field's batte of the italian middle-age. From the victory of Siena to Florence, was born the original and historical Palio to celebrate that victory.. Your video it's amazing, i'm sorry for my english. It"s not perfect...
Hello Sonia, thank you for your comment and the information you've provided - very interesting indeed. Amazing to think of the rivalry over the centuries, there's so much to learn! Don't worry about your English, looks good to me. Thanks form watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The rivalry between cities/villages it's a pecularity of tuscany . Is widespread in all national territory but here it's more grounded. We call this "campanilismo".. Thanx to you for your video. There're very interesting and full of information . I hope to see you again here in tuscany!!😃

I love Siena! Did you go inside the Cathedral? It is breathtaking. Most beautiful Cathedral ever!
You know what? I don't think I did, or at least I can't remember doing so. I usually do so maybe it was closed for one reason or another. Sounds incredible though, will have to go back and look at my photos to see if I took any inside.

Thank you Sonia, yes I will definitely be back at some point. It's an incredible area and I loved my visit!
I spent a few hours touring in Siena. No where near enough time. Next time.
Yes I know how you feel, I spent the day there and felt like I'd only just scratched the surface! Wonderful place.
Is there Uber in Siena?
Yes I'm sure there is. Hope that helps.
Thanks!
You're very welcome, have a great day!
you need a drone.
Hi Joe, I've got one. I used it in this videos!
