Visiting Siena on a Budget

# Visiting Siena on a Budget

Siena is cheaper than Florence and much cheaper than Rome. With smart choices, a day costs 50-70 euro including a proper dinner.

Key facts

• Sleep: hostel or B&B outside the immediate Campo radius — 35-60 euro/night.
• Eat: lunch panino from a salumeria (6 euro), dinner trattoria primo + glass of wine (15 euro).
• Sights: many are free (Fortezza, San Domenico, contrada churches). Paid sights: ~15-20 euro for the essentials.
• Transport: walk everywhere inside the walls.
• Free: sunset at the Fortezza, sitting on the Campo, the passeggiata along Via di Citta.

What I tell visitors

A budget day in Siena beats a luxury day in cities where everything costs double. The best things here — the Campo, the views, the walks — are free.
