Day Trip from Rome to Siena: A Perfect Escape from B&B Savoia

Why Visit Siena?
Just a few hours from Rome, Siena is a medieval masterpiece—a UNESCO-listed hill town famous for its:
✔️ Iconic Piazza del Campo (site of the Palio horse race)
✔️ Striking black-and-white cathedral
✔️ Winding alleys lined with artisan shops
✔️ World-class Chianti wines

Your Easy Journey from B&B Savoia:

🚌 Morning: Comfortable Direct Bus

  • 7:30 AM – Walk 10 mins to Rome Tiburtina Station

  • 8:00 AM Bus – Board the direct SENA bus (€20, or €5 if booked early online at sena.it)

  • 11:00 AM – Arrive at Piazza Gramsci, Siena’s center

🏰 Late Morning: Explore Siena

  • Piazza del Campo – Climb the Torre del Mangia for panoramic views

  • Duomo di Siena – Marvel at the zebra-striped columns (€5 entry)

  • Panforte tasting – Try this iconic fruitcake at Nannini Café

🍝 Lunch: Authentic Tuscan Flavors

  • Osteria Le Logge – Truffle pasta near the Campo (book ahead)

  • Budget tip: Grab a pici pasta (thick Tuscan noodles) at a market stall

🍷 Afternoon: Chianti & Hidden Gems

  • Wine window – Sample local Chianti at Enoteca Italiana (a 14th-century wine cellar)

  • Santa Maria della Scala – Fascinating medieval hospital museum (€9)
