  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | Siena, once a proud and independent city-state, retains its confidence and unique traditions. We'll enjoy a front-row seat at its wild horse race - the venerable Palio - and marvel at cultural treasures from the days when it rivaled Florence for leadership of Tuscany. Then we'll head into wine country for a little "dolce vita" under the Tuscan sun. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #tuscany

    I’m Scottish, from Glasgow, and I live in Siena. Everything that he said is correct, no exaggeration. The city is stunning- you have to experience it to really feel the historic ambiance and beauty. The food that you see in the video is what we eat every day, without exception. Poor quality wine doesn’t exist, and vino is available from 3 euros per bottle (and upwards). Oh, and the women are beautiful angels- I married one....

    My sister, an artist, and I were supposed to go to Italy, then into Austria and Germany, this past May, 2020.
    We had planned the trip for 2 years.
    Sigh.

Our home in Silicon Valley California is modeled after an Italian Villa - Villa Medici - so it is essential that we stay closely in touch with Italy to give our home even more authentic features. Thanks Rick.

Sadly, I wasn't there to see a palio but it was like walking through a living museum. The local history, culture and cuisine are all terrific. If I could live anywhere in Italy, this would be the place!
