044. Exploring Siena, Italy: Six Insider Tips for Your Visit (From People Who Lived There)
Today we're taking you to Siena, Italy!
Siena holds a special place in our heart because we lived and worked at a winery just outside of the city for several months in 2018, and were married there in 2022. We're sharing stories, travel tips, and our favorite experiences in one of Tuscany’s most iconic destinations.
From the heart-pounding excitement of the Palio di Siena horse race to the best city and countryside viewpoints, we dive into what makes Siena unforgettable and a not-to-miss stop.
We also highlight our top culinary experience through a hands-on Italian cooking class, explore authentic local events, and going off the beaten path for a richer cultural experience.
Whether you’re planning a trip to Italy or simply love food and travel stories, this episode will inspire you to savor the history, cuisine, and traditions of Siena.
