Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | Siena, once a proud and independent city-state, retains its confidence and unique traditions. We'll enjoy a front-row seat at its wild horse race — the venerable Palio — and marvel at cultural treasures from the days when it rivaled Florence for leadership of Tuscany. Then we'll head into wine country for a little "dolce vita" under the Tuscan sun. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #tuscany Visit http://www.ricksteves.com/ for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
