What our students said about Siena

5.0

Rating: 5/5

A beautiful old city with many attractions, friendly and helpful people. I did not use public transport much and the geographical points were not important to me either.

5.0

Rating: 5/5

It is more lively that you could imagine for a city of this size. Probably because it is a very touristic and also a university city.

I would recommend Siena as a destination to anyone. Such a lovely place to be, hard to describe, but very special.

Like a tiny Florence but without the over-abundance of tourists. Beautiful little city and worth visiting.
