One Perfect Day in Siena, Italy | A Detailed Itinerary

Siena rewards everyone who visits, whether you have one day in Siena or five. We know, because we’ve done both.

Our first trip was a full five nights. We used Siena as our base for exploring the Tuscan hill towns, and most evenings ended the same way: the four of us heading down to Piazza del Campo with a soccer ball, where our kids inevitably made friends with other children and Tim and I ended up playing too. We came back years later on a September trip through Tuscany, just the two of us, and found just as much to love in a completely different way.

The city is compact, walkable, and organized around a handful of extraordinary sites: the Duomo, the tower, the medieval streets, and Piazza del Campo. One day is genuinely enough to experience the best of it. But if you can manage even one night here, do it. Siena after the day-trippers leave is something else entirely.

This itinerary draws on both visits and is built around the practical details that actually matter: what to book in advance, how to avoid the worst lines, and how to sequence your day so you don’t have to choose between Torre del Mangia and the Panorama. Here’s how to spend one perfect day in Siena.

One Day in Siena

Here is a map of the places to visit, recommended restaurants, parking, and hotels in Siena.

Two Important Things to Know about this Siena Itinerary

#1 Turning this into a Half Day Itinerary

If you have limited time, or like the idea with combining Siena with another nearby Tuscan town, you can condense this itinerary into a half day visit. I’ll let you know how to do this later in this guide.

#2 Avoiding Lines and Getting Your Tickets

The most likely place you will be stuck waiting in line is for the Panorama of the Unfinished Façade of the Siena Duomo Complex. A limited number of people are permitted on these terraces at a time, so the line moves very slowly, even if it doesn’t look very long. The Panorama opens at 10 am and to avoid this line, plan on getting to the Cathedral Museum just before opening time or visit later in the day (mid to late afternoon).

However, if you also want to climb the Torre del Mangia, you will have to purchase your ticket early in the day. Tickets for the tower are only sold at the ticket office and tend to sell out by early afternoon. To make sure you get one, plan on getting to the ticket office no later than noon.

If you want to climb Torre del Mangia and visit the Panorama, you can do one of two things. You can go right to the Panorama first, tour the Siena Cathedral and related sights (this all takes about 2 hours if you move fast), then get your tickets for Torre del Mangia, hoping they still have some for sale. Or, option #2, purchase your tickets for the Torre del Mangia at 10 am, when the ticket office opens, then go to the Siena Cathedral and wait in line for the Panorama.

#2 is the safer option. If you have a full day in Siena, spending a half an hour in line for the Panorama may not sound like fun, but you have the time to do it. I have written the itinerary below using option #2, since it guarantees that you can do both Torre del Mangia and the Panorama.

One Day in Siena Itinerary

Your day in Siena is organized around three main areas: the Duomo Complex, a sprawling cathedral site with multiple attractions that easily fills two to three hours on its own, Piazza del Campo along with the adjacent Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia, and the historic city center, where the medieval streets are best explored on foot at a leisurely pace.

The itinerary below takes you through all of it in the right order. For a deeper look at each attraction, what to prioritize, and what’s worth skipping, see our full guide ↓

Best of Siena

Best Things to Do in Siena

Here are 10 must-have experiences in Siena, plus where to eat and where to stay.

9:30 am: Breakfast

Siena is the town where my love affair with espresso and cappuccino began. Small coffee shops dot the city streets in abundance here. You can take your pick from one of the many coffee shops in town, or start off at Pasticceria Nannini Conca D’Oro on 24 Via Banchi di Sopra, a pastry and coffee shop located just a short walk from Piazza del Campo.

If you are arriving in Siena by bus, it is just a 7-minute walk from the bus station at Piazza Antonio Gramsci along Via Banchi di Sopra.

10:00 am: Torre del Mangia Tickets

If you plan to climb Torre del Mangia (we highly recommend it for the views!), go to Palazzo Pubblico to purchase your tickets. The ticket office opens at 10 am (confirm hours here). If you also like the idea of visiting the Civic Museum (inside of Palazzo Pubblico) and Santa Maria della Scala, you can purchase a combination ticket.

From Palazzo Pubblico, it is a 5-minute walk to the Siena Cathedral.

Palazzo Pubblico ticket office

10:15 am: Siena Cathedral & the Siena Duomo Complex

Italy is filled with gorgeous cathedrals and the Siena Cathedral, aka the Duomo di Siena, is one of the best. This church is striped with white and black marble both inside and out, giving it a unique, almost surprising appearance.

Siena Cathedral

Like many churches in Europe, it took hundreds of years to build the cathedral. Work began in 1196 and over the next 200 years, additions and ornate facades were added to the cathedral.

In 1339, construction began to add another massive addition to the cathedral, but arrival of the Black Death in 1348 halted all further construction on the cathedral. This “unfinished façade of the New Cathedral” remains and walking on these terraces is one of the best things to do in Siena.

The Facciatone, also called the Panorama, from the Unfinished Facade

The Siena Cathedral is part of the Monument Complex of the Cathedral. This “complex” includes the Siena Cathedral and associated sites, including the crypt, the baptistery, the museum, the Piccolomini Library, the Oratory of San Bernardino, the Gate of Heaven, and the Panorama from the Unfinished Façade (the Facciatone).

It takes 2 to 3 hours to visit everything on this list, with the exception of the Oratory of San Bernardino, which is located on the opposite side of Siena.

We have a guide How to Visit the Siena Cathedral ↓, which includes photos and more information about each of these sites and how to visit them.

SIENA CATHEDRAL

The Complete Guide to the Siena Cathedral

Everything you need to know to visit the Siena Cathedral, including the best things to do, ticket types, photos, and helpful tips.

Below is an itinerary for the Siena Cathedral with some information about each place to visit.

Everything listed below is included on the Porta del Cielo ticket for the Siena Cathedral. We recommend purchasing this ticket several weeks in advance (although even more time is better) since they are limited. When you purchase this ticket, you will also make a reservation for a time slot for the Gate of Heaven. For this Siena Itinerary, a 12:00 pm or 12:30 pm time slot works well (be aware that on Sundays the cathedral does not open until 1:30 pm).

10:15 am: Panorama from the New Cathedral

With one day in Siena, I recommend starting with the Panorama of the New Cathedral (also called the Facciatone and the Unfinished Façade). Only a limited number of people can visit the terrace at a time, so there is usually a long, slow-moving line to do this.

To avoid spending a long time in this line, go first to the Cathedral Museum as soon as possible (opening time is generally at 9:30 am April through October, but hours vary by season, get updated hours here) and go right to the upper level, to get in line for the Panorama.

On a visit to the Panorama, you will visit two levels. Here are the views.

View from the first level of the Facciatone

The view of Palazzo Pubblico from the second level

The view of the Siena Cathedral from the second level

10:45 am: Cathedral Museum

After the Panorama, visit the exhibits inside of the Cathedral Museum.

This museum contains a lot of the original works of art that were made for the Siena Cathedral. On this list are the stained-glass Rose Window by Duccio di Buoninsegna, sculptures by Pisano and Donatello, the altarpiece by Duccio di Buoninsegna, and the Treasury.

The Rose Window

11:15 am: Baptistery

The Baptistery is located on the back side of the Siena Cathedral. The interior of the Baptistery is covered with beautiful frescoes. Donatello, Giovanni di Turino, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Jacopo della Quercia all contributed to the creation of the Baptismal font.

11:25 am: Crypt

The Crypt is an area of the complex that was recently excavated. The frescoes in the crypt were painted in the 12th century and tell stories from the Old and New Testaments.

The Crypt is very small and a visit here lasts 5 to 10 minutes. Entrance into the Crypt is located on the right side of the Siena Cathedral, just a few steps from the entrance into the Cathedral Museum.

11:30 am: Siena Cathedral and Piccolomini Museum

Enter one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Italy.

A visit inside of the cathedral lasts about 30 minutes since there is so much here to see. Again, take a look at our guide to the Siena Cathedral for more information, but important things to see include the Piccolomini Library, the amazing mosaic floors, the pulpit that was sculpted by Nicola Pisano, and sculptures by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Piccolomini Library

12:00 pm: Gate of Heaven (Porta del Cielo)

The Gate of Heaven is a guided tour of the roof and terraces of the Siena Cathedral. It’s one of the best things to do at the Siena Cathedral, since you get to tour “hidden” areas of the cathedral and get unique views of the nave.

This tour takes 25 minutes from start to finish.

The view of Siena on the Gate of Heaven tour

To take the Gate of Heaven Tour, you will need to purchase a Porta del Cielo ticket. When you purchase this ticket, you will reserve your time slot in advance. This is a popular activity and we recommend reserving your time slot several weeks in advance, although even more time is better, since this is a popular thing to do in Siena.

1:15 pm: Lunch

There are three places we recommend for lunch.

The first is Osteria da Divo. This is a fine dining restaurant that is located inside of Etruscan tombs. It is just a short walk from the Siena Cathedral. See the menu and get hours here. This also makes a great place to have dinner.

You can also have lunch on Piazza del Campo. Normally, it’s best to avoid the main squares for lunch and dinner. The food tends to be overpriced and mediocre. In this case, we still recommend it because the setting is phenomenal. Keep in mind that these restaurants are more about the view than the food.

On Il Campo, here are two places to try:

• San Paolo Pub. This small pub-style restaurant serves pizza, paninis, and pasta. Get a seat in the balcony and enjoy the view.
• Il Bandierino. This restaurant serves pizza and pasta at affordable prices.

Piazza del Campo & Palazzo Pubblico

2:30 pm: Palazzo Pubblico & Torre del Mangia

Palazzo Pubblico, also called the town hall, is the seat of Siena’s government. This medieval building was constructed in 1297 and it sits on Piazza del Campo.

The inner courtyard of Palazzo Pubblico is free to visit. From here, you can enter the Civic Museum and climb Torre del Mangia.

Inner courtyard of Palazzo Pubblico

Many of the rooms inside of Palazzo Pubblico are covered with frescoes, which you can see on a visit to the Civic Museum. Highlights include seeing the frescoes in Sala dei Nove (the Hall of Nine) and Sala del Mappamondo (the Hall of the Globe).

Torre del Mangia (the Tower of Mangia) is the tall, skinny tower rising up from Palazzo Pubblico.

Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia

From the top of Torre del Mangia, you get a breathtaking view over Siena. But be prepared to do some work to get here. It is over 400 steps to the top and there is no elevator.

4:00 pm: Historic Center of Siena

Spend the next few hours exploring the historic heart of Siena. The city center is pedestrian only, making this city a joy to wander through. We love wandering the streets of Siena. As you stroll through the city, you’ll pass by smaller squares, small churches, cafes, shops, and restaurants.

Via di Città is one of the main streets that runs parallel to the outside of Piazza del Campo. This street is also one of the best places to go shopping in Siena.

You also have the option to add on two more notable places in Siena.

Santa Maria della Scala

Santa Maria della Scala was one of Europe’s first hospitals. It has been converted into a museum. Frescoes from the 14th century cover some of the walls and you can see chapels, relics, and sculptures within the 10,000 square meters of space this complex of museums inhabits. Santa Maria della Scala is located in front of the Siena Cathedral.

Frescoes in Santa Maria della Scala

A visit here can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your interests.

For hours and pricing, visit the official website.

Basilica of San Domenico

The Basilica of San Domenico, also known as Basilica Cateriniana, originally dates back to the mid-13th century but has been enlarged several times. Inside are several relics of St. Catherine of Siena. St. Catherine was canonized as a saint in 1461 by Pope Pius II and was declared a patron saint of Italy in 1939 by Pope Pius XII.

This church is located just west of the historic city Siena, about a 7-minute walk from Piazza del Campo. It is free to visit and you can get opening hours on the official website.

7 pm: Dinner in Siena

End your day with dinner and drinks. Consider one more stroll through the streets of Siena to end the day.

Most of the better restaurants are not located near Piazza del Campo, so you will have to walk a short distance to get to some of these places, but it is worth it.

La Taverna di San Giuseppe. This restaurant offers excellent Italian food, a massive wine list, and impeccable service. This is a favorite of the locals and this restaurant has even received one Michelin star. Closed Sundays.

Antica Osteria da Divo. This is a fine dining restaurant that also is a favorite in Siena. A portion of the dining area fills Etruscan tombs dating back over 2000 years ago. It is located near the Duomo. Closed Tuesdays.

Gino Cacino di Angelo. If you are looking for a budget restaurant that serves great food, this is a nice option. This wine bar and restaurant serves paninis and cheese and meat platters. This is another favorite local spot so expect Italian menus and Italian speaking staff. Note: they close at 8 pm.

Osteria de Divo

Half Day in Siena Itinerary

If you only have a half day in Siena (for example, you are on a day trip from Florence and you are visiting two or more Tuscan hill towns), there are three must-see sights in Siena: Piazza del Campo, the Siena Cathedral, and if you don’t mind the hefty stair climb, the view from the top of the Torre del Mangia.

Because of the way the tickets work for Torre del Mangia, if  you can, plan your visit to Siena in the morning.

In 3 hours, you can climb the Torre del Mangia (this takes about 45 minutes), visit a few sites of the Siena Duomo Complex (the interior of the Cathedral, the Piccolomini Library, and the Panorama from the Unfinished Facade all get my vote), and spend a few minutes in Piazza del Campo. For something unique, do the Gate of Heaven tour, but this ticket must be reserved in advance.

The Palio

The Palio is a horse race that is held every year on July 2 and August 16. Ten horses and riders compete, each representing their contrada, or neighborhood. Each contrada has its own colors and mascots, which you can see hanging on flags as you walk through the historic city center.

The race is held in Il Campo. It only lasts 90 seconds, as the horse and riders make 3 frenetic laps around the square. People gather on grandstands and in the center of Il Campo. It is a thrilling thing to witness if you are in town during one of these races.

Best Time to Visit Siena

We’ve visited Siena twice, in two very different seasons.

Our first trip was five days in July, using Siena as our base for exploring the Tuscan hill towns. Temperatures hovered in the high 70s to low 80s (26–30°C), warm but manageable. Thunderstorms rolled through almost every afternoon around 3 pm, briefly cooling things down and washing away the crowds, at least for a little bit.

Our second visit was two days at the end of September. We had overcast skies, occasional rain, and much quieter streets.

Verdict: May through mid-June is the sweet spot, with good weather before the peak summer rush. If you don’t mind the chance of rain, late September into early October is also excellent, with noticeably smaller crowds.

Where to Stay in Siena

LUXURY: Hotel Athena. This is a 4-star hotel on a stunning property and it is just a 10-minute walk to Il Campo and the Duomo. From their terrace you will have a wonderful view of Siena and Tuscany. If you are traveling by car, this hotel is a great option because they offer free parking.

MID-RANGE: Fonte Gaia Experience. Getting exceptional reviews (it is one of the highest rated hotels in Siena), this boutique hotel offers standard rooms, suites, and a two-bedroom, perfect for families and small groups. It is located in Siena, just a short walk from the Siena Cathedral.

MID-RANGE: Palazzo Ravizza. This 3-star hotel is located within the historic city center of Siena. Palazzo Ravizza also offers a garden with a terrace overlooking the hills of Tuscany.

BUDGET: Hotel Italia. This is another 3-star hotel but with its location near the train station, and outside of the heart of Siena, it comes with a lower price. This is a boutique hotel offering 65 rooms that gets rave reviews. It’s a 20-minute walk to Il Campo but it is located conveniently near the train station.

How to Get to Siena

From Florence

To get between Florence and Siena, your best bet is the bus (not the train). Buses are cheaper and faster. From the bus station in Florence (near the Santa Maria Novella train station), take the direct bus to Siena. The journey takes about one hour and fifteen minutes. Do not take the local bus because it makes more stops along the way for a total time of 2 hours. You will arrive in Siena at Piazza Gramsci, the main bus terminal.

Buses leave 2 to 3 times per hour and you can buy your bus ticket at the station just before boarding the bus.

If you have a rental car, it takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to drive to Siena.

From Rome

By Train. There are no direct trains between Rome and Siena. Most likely you will have to transfer in Chiusi. Tickets range from €18 to €50 and the journey can take between 3 and 5 hours.

By Bus. The travel time averages 3.5 hours and tickets cost roughly €23. It is a slight savings over the train, and in most cases, you will arrive in Siena at about the same time. So, it’s more of a personal preference if you travel by train or by bus.
Parking in Siena

Parking in Siena

The city center of Siena is pedestrian only. If you have a hotel in the historic city center, you will have to park outside of town and then walk to your hotel. There are numerous parking lots located around the outskirts of Siena. Your hotel may have parking at one of these lots or should be able to assist you as to the most convenient lot.

On our most recent visit to Siena, we stayed near the on the north side of the city center at Residenza D’Epoca Palazzo Piccolomini. We parked at Parcheggio San Francesco, rode the series of escalators up to the Basilica di San Francesco, and walked to our hotel. This took about 15-minutes one-way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do you need in Siena?

In order to see the main sights in Siena, you will need one full day. This gives you enough time to tour the Siena duomo complex, explore the city center, visit Palazzo Pubblico and climb to the top of Torre del Mangia, visit Santa Maria della Scala, and have lunch and/or dinner in town.

If you have less time (for example, you are on a quick day trip from Florence or another town in Tuscany), essential things to do in just a few hours include the views from Torre del Mangia, a visit to the Siena Cathedral, and some time walking through the historic heart of Siena.

Is Siena worth visiting?

Siena is one of our favorite towns, not only in Tuscany but all of Italy. Visiting the Siena Cathedral, which is one of the most beautiful churches in Italy, is a big highlight, as is enjoying the view from the top of the Tower of Mangia, having a cup of coffee or aperitif in Piazza del Campo, and wandering the medieval streets of the historic city center.

What are the best places to visit in Siena?

The best things to do in Siena include the Siena Cathedral and its related sites, (including the Piccolomini Library, Gate of Heaven tour, and views from the Panorama), climbing the Torre del Mangia for one of the best views of Tuscany, strolling through the historic city center, and spending some time in Piazza del Campo.

Is Siena worth visiting as a day trip from Florence?

Yes, Siena is one of the best day trips from Florence. The direct bus takes about an hour and fifteen minutes and is both cheaper and faster than the train. In a full day, you can visit the Siena Cathedral and Duomo Complex, climb the Torre del Mangia, spend time in Piazza del Campo, and have lunch in town. If you’re short on time or combining Siena with another Tuscan hill town, a half-day is enough to cover the highlights: the Duomo, the tower, and a walk through the historic center. For everything you need to know about planning the trip, see our complete guide to [day trips from Florence].

Is it worth spending the night in Siena?

Yes, and we’d recommend it for two reasons. Siena is a genuinely different city once the day-trippers leave. And if you’re planning to explore the Tuscan hill towns, Siena is a better home base than Florence. Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, and Monteriggioni are all significantly closer to Siena, which means less driving and more time actually in the towns. And if you’re renting a car, which we strongly recommend for exploring Tuscany, staying in Siena is a much easier proposition than Florence. Parking in Florence is a genuine headache; Siena has well-organized lots on the outskirts of the historic center that make coming and going straightforward.
