Should you find yourself among people who have visited Italy and you mention \u201cSiena,\u201d you are likely to get a chorus of deep sighs and dreamy looks in return. And with very good reason. It\u2019s a place that looks almost exactly<\/em> like what we picture when we imagine a historic Tuscan town<\/strong>. With cobbled streets, narrow lanes, ancient walls, and miles of rolling hills in the distance.\u00a0So, that\u00b4s why we highly recommend a Siena Day Trip from Florence as a great addition to your holiday itinerary<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the old city center feels rather quaint, particularly when it\u2019s not crowded. However, Siena was once an incredibly powerful European city<\/strong>. It\u2019s home to the world\u2019s oldest bank, opened in 1472 and still in operation to this day. <\/strong>That power and influence may be a thing of the past, but it\u2019s the city\u2019s former status that we have to thank for many of the sights modern visitors love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siena\u2019s list of tourist attractions may not be as long as some of Italy\u2019s other major destinations. But, that\u2019s one of the reasons that make Siena an excellent day trip from Florence<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
