BlobCarp:“Well worth seeing the incredible architecture! Great to have a few different parts that you can go in an out of (only once each) to take breaks from outside and not do everything at once.”
sculptor:“Siena in central Italy has a beautiful old town, the center of the old town is a famous field square. Surrounding this circular square are various ancient buildings, including the city hall and a 102-meter tower. Next to the square is a cathedral with a history of more than 800 years.”
sculptor:“The Piazza del Siena in central Italy is a famous medieval square. Surrounding this circular square are various ancient buildings, including the town hall and a 102-meter-high bell tower. The bell tower can be climbed before sunset, and the view from above is pretty good.”
sculptor:“The ancient city of San Gimignano is an Italian hill town southwest of Florence. Its old town, surrounded by 13th-century walls, is renowned for its medieval architecture, unique in that about a dozen tower houses have been preserved. Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, outstanding examples of secular buildings and churches.”

好脾气懒猫:“The Fitz Art Gallery is truly breathtaking. Its collection is incredibly rich, and you'll find world-famous paintings at every glance! However, there are so many works that you can only see a fraction of them in five hours. If you don't do your research ahead of time, you'll easily get lost. It's also very crowded, and popular exhibition halls are often crowded, so be sure to reserve time in advance and be physically fit. A full day of walking around is exhausting, but it's definitely worth it!
There are a few must-see treasures in the museum, so do your research ahead of time.
1. Botticelli – The Birth of Venus
2. Botticelli – La Primavera
3. Leonardo da Vinci – The Annunciation
4. Michelangelo – Doni Tondo
5. Raphael – Madonna del Cardellino
6. Titian – Venus of Urbino
7. Caravaggio – Medusa
8. Giotto – Maestà Ognissanti
9. Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi – Annunciazione
10. Rembrandt van Rijn – Self-Portrait as an Old Man”
好脾气懒猫:“The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is truly magnificent. Admission is free, allowing you to experience the grandeur of its interior without having to pay. Tickets can be purchased through the side entrance, bypassing the main entrance line, and include access to the bell tower. However, if you're looking for a panoramic view of Florence from above, you can choose between the dome or Giotto's bell tower, or both. The dome offers a close-up view of the frescoes and panoramic views of the city. The bell tower also offers a fantastic view, allowing you to capture the dome in full photographic space. Both steps are quite demanding, as they are quite long and challenging.”
Open today at 10:00-19:00(Tickets available until 18:15; admission ends at 18:15)
sculptor:“Siena in central Italy is a famous medieval city, Siena's city center city hall was built more than 700 years ago, the most dazzling structure of the city hall is a 102-meter tower, built in 1348, is the tallest bell tower in Italy at that time.”
Opening hours: 08:15-18:50 (admission ends at 18:20)
Anonymous user:“Although they are more expensive, these are safe and guaranteed tickets which can be bought on dates when the official tickets are sold out, especially closer to your visit date. We received the online tickets a day before our entry. Entrance was crowded but the staff are helpful to guide you to your designated ticket queue line. Inside the galleria was mildly crowded. The Michelangelo David statue was magnificent and there is ample space for you to admire and take pictures. Overall I would recommend this place.”
TheForkUser:“This was than s meal - this was an experience. We came by chance upon Il Ciliegio and we had a wonderful evening that was all around perfect.It is a family owned family operated winery and restaurant and we came for dinner. Our first pleasant surprise was the fact that we were the only tourists - apart from us there were inly locals - already a good sign. And as there were two large birthday parties and a silver wedding dinner the atmosphere was super fun.The second surprise was the food. They only cook one menu per day for everyone, wichever mamma buys that day on the market. For the set price of 35€ we got a five course meal, homemade sparkling, wine, water, coffee and a limoncello at the end of the- all included! We paid three times as much in all previous locations. The food again was excellent. It was all homemade, feelgood food. Nothing fancy, but very tasty.And the service was so caring and nice, we spend over three great hours there and would return within a heartbeat.”
TheForkUser:“One of the best meals I’ve eaten in Italy so far. The produce was so fresh and to complement it they have a delicious selection of wines. Highlights recommend!”
TheForkUser:“A lovely setting in the grounds of the hotel. We were offered a table inside or outside on the terrace. A warm still April evening made that choice an easy one. The menu is marvellously creative and the food beautifully presented; spinach and mushroom ice cream as accompaniments to dishes? Yes really! Every dish was delicious. Wine by the (generous) glass if that’s all you want. Lovely friendly, polite and jovial service. Cannot fault the whole evening. Superb.”
TheForkUser:“Simple, local and authentic cuisine, very good. Don‘t go there for fancy experience, it‘s where the locals eat, which is a good sign. Dishes are excellent, prizing fair. A clear recommendation.”
