Iconic Panorama of Siena

The emblematic panorama of Siena

The emblematic panorama of Siena rewards the effort of the climb with a magnificent view over the town built on its hills. The Siena audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this viewpoint, where the slopes of the town offer unforgettable perspectives.

The reward of the hills of Siena

Coming to meet Siena, you choose a visit that tests endurance! Built on three hills, the Tuscan town imposes its rhythm between steep stairs and vertiginous descents, enough to put the legs to work. But these slopes also make all the charm of the town and offer, as a reward for the effort, emblematic panoramas. From here, the gaze takes in the red brick roofs, the bell towers, the towers and the silhouette of the cathedral that stand out against the landscape, as well as the gentle hills of the Tuscan countryside that extend beyond the ramparts. These viewpoints, arranged at the turn of the sloping alleys, reveal the unique harmony between the medieval town and its natural environment, and recall why Siena and its region are among the finest of Italy. A belvedere that rewards the climb, the emblematic panorama of Siena is a must-see contemplative stop.
