The Siena City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to eat pici and wild boar without paying Campo prices, how to tackle the cathedral hill and its museums, which Tuscan hill towns you can reach by bus and where to find a glass of wine once the city goes quiet. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that tells you why a place matters, what to order or look for and one useful tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Antica Trattoria Papei
Piazza del Mercato 6
A loud, crowded trattoria behind the town hall that has served pici, ribollita and rabbit the same way for decades. Nothing about it is refined, and nobody wants it to be. From the food guide.
Palazzo Pubblico
Il Campo 1
The Gothic town hall on the Campo, home of the Museo Civico. In the Sala dei Nove, Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s 14th-century fresco of Good and Bad Government still lectures the city on how to run itself. From the things to do guide.
Palazzo Piccolomini
Corso il Rossellino 28, Pienza
Pope Pius II’s 15th-century palace in the Renaissance village of Pienza. Take the guided visit for the garden at the back, which opens straight onto the Val d’Orcia. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Siena scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. When the game is over, the guides take it from there: an osteria on a side street for lunch, a wine cellar at aperitivo time, a bus out to the Chianti hills or a quiet church for a rainy afternoon.
