Spring in Siena: 3 Days of Art, Nature and Relaxation at Hotel Athena
Why visit Siena in spring?
When spring arrives, Siena awakens in all its beauty. The days get longer, the weather turns mild, and the city becomes the perfect mix of art, cuisine, and nature. If you're wondering where to go in Tuscany in spring, Siena is the ideal destination.
To help you plan your trip, here’s a 3-day itinerary combining discovery, relaxation and authentic Tuscan flavors — all starting from Hotel Athena, your stay in the historic heart of Siena.
Day 1 – Discover Siena’s Historic Center and Breathtaking Views
Begin your adventure in Siena’s UNESCO-listed historic center. Start from the iconic Piazza del Campo, where the famous Palio horse race takes place, then climb the Torre del Mangia for a panoramic view over the city’s rooftops and rolling hills. Visit the Cathedral, with its marble façade and inlaid floor, then lose yourself in the streets of Siena’s ancient medieval districts.
Don’t miss:
• The Baptistery of San Giovanni
• The Opera del Duomo Museum
• The Pinacoteca Nazionale
After immersing yourself in history and beauty, return to Hotel Athena, located just a short walk from all major landmarks. Unwind in a comfortable room with countryside views — in spring, the landscape bursts into vibrant colors and scents.
Day 2 – Flavors and Landscapes of Tuscany
Start your day with a stroll to Porta San Marco, one of the medieval gates just steps from the hotel.
From there, choose your spring escape — our staff will be happy to help organize your tour:
• Val d’Arbia: vineyards, olive groves and charming villages like Buonconvento
• Val d’Orcia: a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for stunning scenery
• Val d’Elsa: home to world-famous gems like Monteriggioni and San Gimignano
Back in town, enjoy a memorable dinner at Mangia Restaurant, Hotel Athena’s in-house restaurant, where Tuscan and Sienese dishes are reimagined with a creative twist. We pride ourselves on using fresh, seasonal ingredients that reflect the region’s rich culinary tradition.
