What to do and see in Siena, Tuscany: The Best Architectural Buildings
This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

Visit the Oldest Bank still in operation in the World, amazing to think it is still in operation. Come see it before it goes bankrupt, as it is “under the supervision” of the government.
