jyrki from Finland wrote about Siena one year, 5 months ago

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. I went there in september and there were not too many tourists around. It is not allowed to drive car inside the city walls so it's nice to walk around.

ninah from Finland wrote about Radda in Chianti one year, 4 months ago

Good place for getting tips on the vinyards in the area. Their tourist info is the best I've ever visited - really helpful and friendly service.
The town itself is nothing special, but a good place to stop for a cup of coffee or to buy a box of Chianti wine.

jussi from Finland wrote about Belvedere 2 years ago

If you have enough energy for some walking, go across river Arno and through Boboll garden up the hill to reach the fortress. On a sunny day the walk is very, not least because you get a chance to avoid the tourist masses of Florence centre for a while!

Absolutely charming little village on the hills of Tuscany. Unfortunately I was there during siesta when everything was closed. Gorgeous views, though, and excellent place to take panorama pictures of Tuscan scenery.

Go during the Palio in July or August. Its incredible

jjtravel from Finland wrote about Piazza del Campo one year, 7 months ago

This half circle shaped sloping medieval square can be the most awesome Campo in the whole Italy. One only needs to walk around this Campo which is a monument as itself and wonder.
