# Best Viewpoints in Siena

Siena's hilltop geography gives it more good viewpoints than any city its size in Tuscany.

Key facts

Torre del Mangia (paid, 87m, 360-degree).
Facciatone (the unfinished facade of the 'New Duomo', accessible via the Opera Museum) — best Duomo + city view.
Fortezza Medicea ramparts: free, sunset-perfect, locals come here for evening walks.
Orto de' Pecci: a green valley below the city walls with a view back up at the historic center.
Belvedere on Via di Sapienza: small, free, looking out toward the Duomo dome.

What I tell visitors

Hit the Facciatone in late afternoon and the Fortezza at sunset. Both are 5-10 minutes from the Campo and free or cheap.
