# 3 Days in Siena: A Local Itinerary

Three days lets you see Siena properly and use it as a base for one day-trip into the countryside.

Key facts

Day 1: arrive, settle, Piazza del Campo + Torre del Mangia + Palazzo Pubblico. Dinner at a real trattoria.
Day 2: Duomo complex morning, lunch in a quieter neighborhood, Pinacoteca + Santa Maria della Scala afternoon, aperitivo on the Campo, dinner.
Day 3: day trip — San Gimignano, Pienza/Montepulciano (Val d'Orcia), or Chianti winery. Return for dinner.
Built-in flex: book one cooking class or food tour on the morning of day 3 if you skip the day-trip.
Best base for this: 2-3 minutes walk from Piazza del Campo, inside the walls.

What I tell visitors

Three days is the sweet spot for most visitors. See our Siena one-day itinerary and stretch it across three for a more relaxed pace.
