You start at the edge of Piazza del Campo with a phone in hand and the Duomo's marble stripes glinting ahead. Narrow alleys funnel you past brick palazzi, shuttered windows and unexpected courtyards; the cobbles set the rhythm and occasional church bells mark each checkpoint.

You start at the edge of Piazza del Campo with a phone in hand and the Duomo's marble stripes glinting ahead. Narrow alleys funnel you past brick palazzi, shuttered windows and unexpected courtyards; the cobbles set the rhythm and occasional church bells mark each checkpoint.
Siena is a medieval hill town built across three rises of Tuscan clay and limestone, its skyline defined by Torre del Mangia and the shell-shaped Campo where the Palio horse race still rends the air twice a year. The Duomo's striped façade and Piccolomini Library speak to a city that flourished in the 12th–14th centuries, trading marble and art as readily as politics and pageantry.
This scavenger-hunt format uses an app and an access code to guide you from Battistero di San Giovanni to tucked-away contrada corners, turning signs and plaques into clues. You’ll answer questions, complete photo tasks and earn points while learning about Sienese guilds, Gothic masonry and the practicalities of life on a steep hill.
Practicalities are straightforward: the route is entirely on foot and can be paced to suit you—expect one to two hours for the main loop. Wear sturdy shoes for uneven stone, keep a charged phone and a small bottle of water, and choose morning or late afternoon to avoid summer heat. Public transport and taxi ranks sit near the Campo, but the best discoveries happen when you allow time to read plaques and peek down side streets. The experience rewards curiosity: look up at façades, listen for bells, and let the city’s stonework point the way.
No, it’s self-guided: you receive an access code to use in the app and navigate the city at your own pace.
Most groups take one to two hours to complete the main route, though you can pause and explore longer if you choose.
A data connection is recommended for map functions and photo uploads; download any available app resources in advance if you have limited service.
The experience is family-friendly, but some narrow alleys and cobbled steps make parts difficult for strollers—plan for lifts or detours if needed.
