Ciao! Siena is more than just Piazza del Campo. Wander through the backstreets, grab a panino at La Taverna di San Giuseppe (trust me!), and climb Torre del Mangia for breathtaking views. Locals love the hidden gardens of Orto Botanico - so peaceful! 🪴 Don't miss the 'contrada' celebrations - pure magic! ✨ A presto!
