Guided tour for families: playful Siena

Siena is a child-sized city of art. The historic center is entirely pedestrian and relatively small, with everything at your fingertips and even green areas that offer the opportunity for a playful stop and a snack within the walls. Between anecdotes and curious details, the guided tour will retrace the history of the city and the tales regarding the construction of the most monumental buildings in Siena in Piazza del Campo and Piazza Duomo. The guide will tell about the Palio and the Contrade. Language, rhythm and contents of the guided tour will always take into account the little ones, without ever forgetting the adults!

A real challenge for the kids, will be the one of walking up the top of the highest tower in the city: the Torre del Mangia in Piazza del Campo with its 400 steps! Or, also, go up to the Facciatone (which can be accessed from the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo), from where it seems as if you can touch the dome of the Cathedral of Siena! There are many hidden places to visit, the alleys and squares where time seems to have stopped, where history and legend intertwine. Along the way, children will have the opportunity to experience one of the most popular games in Siena. Admission fee recommended: Torre del Mangia or Museo dell’Opera del Duomo.

Duration: half day.
