Visiting Siena in September

# 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.
