Romantic Things to Do in Siena

# Romantic Things to Do in Siena

Siena is one of Italy's most romantic small cities. Here are specific moments couples remember.

Key facts

• Sunset on Piazza del Campo, sitting on the bricks with a gelato or aperitivo.
• Late evening walk through empty streets after 22:30.
• A long lunch on the terrace at Orto de' Pecci.
• A bottle of Chianti at a wine bar on Via di Citta.
• A morning at the Duomo before the tour groups arrive.

What I tell visitors

Skip the touristy 'romantic dinner' restaurants on the main drag. Smaller trattorias 5 minutes from the Campo are more atmospheric and far better food.
