The last time we did Livorno, we discovered Florence and Pisa. See below link to our amazing experience in Florence and Pisa. So we chose to do a little something different in Livorno.
This is the start of a long day. We visited the city of Medieval Siena, San Gimignano, and farmhouse lunch which is a 10.5 hour day. First we drive about 2 hours to get to Siena.
Siena, a city in central Italy’s Tuscany region, is distinguished by its medieval brick buildings. The fan-shaped central square, Piazza del Campo, is the site of the Palazzo Pubblico, the Gothic town hall, and Torre del Mangia, a slender 14th-century tower with sweeping views from its distinctive white crown. The city’s 17 historic “contrade” (districts) extend outward from the piazza.
We have a guided tour, but it's hard to understand the guide, so I mostly take photos. This is a beautiful old medieval town with towers that can be seen from afar. We wind down narrow passageways and arrive at Duomo di Sienati which is an amazing church with byzantine stripes.
After we tour we are allowed to be on our own and take photos, but no flash, and we end our guided part at the square and have about 30 minutes of free time to browse and shop.
The streets are very narrow and amazed at how the ambulance races through.
On to the next adventure.
