Guided tour of siena and its museums

Siena is a city rich in history, art and monuments, which is best appreciated with a walk through the main streets and squares, combined with a visit to one or more of its museums. The museum selection is very rich in quantity and quality. With the cumulative ticket, the Siena Cathedral complex offers the opportunity to visit all its monuments: the Cathedral, the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, the Crypt and the Baptistery.

Not to be missed, is the visit accompanied by our tour guide to the two buildings that are the symbol of political power and the secular world: Palazzo Pubblico (with the largest cycle of medieval profane frescoes preserved in our country) and the ancient Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala (which with its maze of floors, rooms and tunnels constitutes a city within a city). The collection of paintings that can be admired in the National Picture Gallery is very rich. And the offer does not end there: Siena has museums unique in the world: the museums of the 17 Contrade that run the Palio of Siena and the Museo delle Biccherne (the medieval tablets that covered the books of the accounts of the ancient Sienese Republic).
