What our students said about Siena

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.

5.0Josepha Netherlands

A very nice little town with limited attractions. In July-August the weather is quite unbearably hot. Several interesting sights and the sea within 1-2 hours.

3.0Erzsébet Hungary

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.

5.0Simard Canada

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

5.0Evelyn Australia

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

5.0Dino South Africa

Beautiful city. (But steep hills, which may be hard work for people with mobility issues.)

5.0William England UK

A very liveable city. I'd love to come back!

5.0Karin Austria

It is a beautiful city with kind people.
