Siena

We stayed in Siena all week as we toured around Tuscany and golly, Siena is beautiful. No cars are allowed within the city so the narrow stone streets are very pedestrian friendly. Luckily, in November, the city wasn't busily bombarded with tourists - nor were we really there during the day though - but I did see one tour group one morning that gave me a glimpse into what the summer could possibly bring and change the city into a nightmarish tourist trap. All roads seem to lead to the Piazza del Campo which is vast and breathtaking and a central hang out for both photo-snapping visitors and socializing locals. I could just imagine the horses running through the streets during the Palio and all the contrades cheering for their local Sienese neighbourhoods. It was nice that we stayed there all week so that we had a chance to see some of the city - often times on stages we only arrive into cities at night and don't have the time or energy to explore - but I would definitely love to go back to Siena.
