# Visiting Siena in September
September is the other best month for Siena (along with May). Warm, gradually less crowded, harvest energy.
Key facts
- Weather: 14-26°C, often perfect.
- Crowds: high early September, dropping mid-month.
- Harvest season: wineries are busy. Tastings still possible but call ahead.
- Long, golden afternoons. Photography is best now.
- Hotel prices: peak first 2 weeks, then shoulder rates.
What I tell visitors
Mid-late September is the dream window. Book by April-May for the best rooms.
