Siena is the capital of the Siena province. On our way to it we saw some beautiful landscapes and fields. Unfortunately we couldn't stop the bus to take some pictures... Siena is a not so big city on top of a hill. The architecture here is breathtaking. The style feels quite authentic, and …

Surrounded by olive groves and the vineyards, Siena – the capital of the Siena region - is probably one of my favorite cities in Tuscany. And I’m sure I’ll have masses of supporters J Because what is more soothing and romantic than resting in the Piazza del Campo and catching early spri…

I avoided another quiet Sunday in Bologna by hopping a train to Siena. I had loved the Tuscan countryside on the trip to Firenze, and wanted to see more. The three hour trip to Siena was exactly what I had hoped for. There were cute villages and beautiful rolling hills. For me, the train ride could…

Middle East-The land of neverending conflict, struggle and dispute.Three weeks of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon,Jordan and Sinai, Egypt. This is where epic cities of antiquity rub shoulders and architectural aspiration.Prior to that pre-backpacking to Toscana Italia, summer 2009 will long be remembered. Predominantly an Islamic region,it is one of the most misunderstood region and religion in the world.

Our first stop today is San Gimignano. This town is also called the Manhatten of Italy because of it's skyline of towers. Formerly the town had 70 towers but there are only 13 towers left. From the parking place till the actual town it was a lively trip upwards. (the biggest part of the group was 6…

The lightning and thunder and wind were ridiculous ! We walked th…

Trip to Siena in Tuscany

We awakened to a wonderful view above the fog from Montepulciano of historic Siena in the distance, also above the fog-filled valleys of Tuscany.  After touring the downtown area of Siena with huge cathedrals, walled ramparts, public squares and some "great sets of knockers" before a good pizz…

Siena is a realy impressing little town! The square in the centre (used by the romans for their horse games, and still being used for that once a year!!) with all restaurants (i met a nice US girl there, buying clothes for US movie stars!), the culture of city groups, the little streets, beautifull…

This amazing trip started in amazing Siena, Tuscany. We drove all day from The Netherlands to this place and i was happy when we finally got here. Because the historicle center of the city isn't allowed for cars we didn't have an impression of the city yet. We found our hotel, parked the car, left …
