Itinerary

1. Visit Siena with your family!

   • The tour will begin from the majestic Basilica of San Domenico, reach the medieval fountain of Siena, and discover nearby the favorite game of the “cittini”, the Sienese children.
   • Visit the house of St. Catherine of Siena, a charismatic figure who wrote letters to the most powerful characters of her time, although she did not know how to read or write.
   • Passing through alleys rich in stories and legends, find horse stables and little fountains hidden in the districts, typical symbols of the Sienese tradition.  
   • Visit the Cathedral, an important destination for pilgrims because right in front of it there is the ancient hospital Santa Maria della Scala, today an important museum. Why this strange name "St. Mary of the staircase"? What is its symbol? During the tour we will be careful to find it in the many buildings.
   • Afterward, see the smallest window in the world and find on top of a column the she-wolf with two twins.
   • Once the mystery is revealed, walk down the Eagle district (Contrada dell’Aquila) to find a hidden fountain and its diabolical werewolf.
   • Continue strolling through characteristic and picturesque streets, linked to the most important places and cultural figures of the city, having always special attention to the roads passable with prams and strollers!
   • Conclude the tour in Piazza del Campo, where the worldwide famous horse race, called Palio, takes place every year. The guide will reveal all the secrets about this unique shell-shaped square and the majestic Palazzo Pubblico.
