    Such a beautiful piazza! We were fortunate to be here during the horse races so the outer ring was packed with dirt for the races. The whole city was alive with the energy of supporting their neighborhood for the races. While there was extreme partisanship for their neighborhood all the people were still very friendly. One woman told me that while they are part of their neighborhood they are all Siena first. If you can visit during this annual event do so such fun.

    Amazing plaza, it must be incredible during the Palio! On any other day, the plaza is a visual spectacle. The buildings are all unique and the tower is incredible! There are restaurants and shops throughout. The shell shape and angle of the ground is cool! It's a great place to hangout!

    Popular piazza in the middle of town. Everything works off this piazza. Cafes,restaurants, wine bars, and retail shops makes it unmissable. Of course, it's where the palio de Siena takes place with the various districts fighting to win the horse race around the piazza. They ride bareback and have many spills, but there is Always a winner 🏆 Highly recommended Colino1861 ✅️💯

    Amazing and beautiful place/piazza in the center of Sienna… only superlatives, nothing more to say! We were here in September 2021, not too crowded and beautiful weather…. Perfect to take some beautiful pictures, although it’s not easy (read almost impossible) to capture the whole place in one picture…

    The Piazza is by far the best place to people watch, and the center of Siena. There are lots of shops and restaurants flanking the rim of the open space. If you arrive early enough you could even have the entire area to yourself!

    Nice place to visit. When we visited this place it was rainy day but it's ok. The place still beautiful. I think if the sun is shining it make more beautiful that it was

    Siena! it was good to come back after 15 years! Nice city, for me better than Florence. Strongly Advise long walks in streets around the Piazza.

    Beautiful place, with beautiful buildings/sightseeing surrounding the Piazza, full of restaurants (a bit pricey) and souvenir shops, full of people laying down directly on the pavement. The Civico Museum and the tower with its 400 stairs (when it's allowed ro visit it because on windy days it's not open) are a must visit in Siena. The whole city is a must visit when in Toscana ! Enjoy !

    Piazza del Campo has a special charm. People sit in cafeterias and enjoy the beautiful view. The piazza is surrounded by many bars and restaurants. People also sit on the floor, which is something wonderful to me. If you want the best view of Siena and to take wonderful pictures, go to the tower. It is mandatory to buy tickets in advance so that they can give you time to enter the tower. Its only ten euros and free for kids up to 12 years of age.

    Most fabulous Piazza in Siena- some general maintenance and repairs at the clock tower while we visited but it didn’t impact the visit overall. Spacious, yet intimate- a perfect highlight of our Siena visit! Highly recommended!

    Another beautiful piazza that lived up to the hype. The views were fantastic and the history surrounding the piazza was amazing. Would love to head back for the Palio di Siena!

    It might be busy but you could still get a spot and watch the crowd. Still somewhat relaxing amidst a big crowd. It’s a sight to behold. Best time of the year to visit for less crowd and weather - March/April

    One of the many famous Piazzas in Florence. This one has beautiful statues, including one of the replicas of the David. If you don’t want to go to the Academia, you can see the David in this Piazza. It is just down the street from the Iffuzi museum.

    A welcoming square that invites one to just sit and people-watch on the floor. We were able to drop by in the morning and had the whole square for ourselves (okay and maybe a few enterprising merchants setting up shop for the day)

    As big and sunny as you can expect. I'm sure it's best to visit in the fall or spring. It's very busy and full of places to eat and shop (and a few tourist traps). Iconic place

    Perhaps the largest historic medieval square in Europe. Known for the horse races that take place around the perimeter of the square twice a year for centuries. Lots of restaurants around but I suggest you eat outside the square to pay a lot less.

  • 5/5 Philippe Van der M. 8 months ago on Google
    Piazza del Campo is an amazing square, unique in the world. The scenery, its story, the experience, the yearly horse racing, the surrounding bars and restaurants, it's all contributing to a unique experience not to be missed. Siena has even more to offer and to discover. Enjoy! 👌

    Enjoyed this main public oval (not square) in the town of Siena. Ringed with eateries and other shops, it has very lively vibe! Rather than the typical flat oval, the area has a gradual and distinct slope. Nice place to bring the family.

    Well if you visit Siena you can't miss Piazza del Campo. Best Piazza in the city. Lots of people and families come and go all day. There are a lot of restaurants around the Piazza to take your drink or eat your food. if you don't want something like that, you can just sit down and enjoy the view. Better after the sun goes down though because it's pretty hot in the summer!
