Siena Travel Forum

Is have been looking for it, as people told me it is central. But I have the impression that's outside it.

You're both right ;-) or wrong :-(

It's on the edge of town, but in the city limits.

Look at www.viamichelin.com, and enter "Italy", "Via Vittorio Tassi" and "Siena" in the appropriate place - you'll get a map of Siena with the street marked...

To dilate on Bill's answer, it looks from the map he mentioned that "edge of town" in this case means about a 5 minute walk from the medieval center. Siena is not a large city.

Thank you for your answer...

That's the problem. I have precised someonte that I needed sth in central town. Then I just discovered that it might be in the edge of it, before the stadium... then someone told me that I will have to manage a 20 min walk, then 5 min, than 8 minutes... (but 8 min by car, means a bit more by foot)

...I have tried to check this street by google map and Earth, there's too much green in this area but I can't see very well. That's why I have asked. Hope that's not one of these agroturismo - too much green makes me nervous :-)

You can use www.viamichelin.com to show you a map of the path on foot between two points in a city.

1. go to www.viamichelin.com
2. click on "Driving Directions"
3. Enter "Via Vittorio Tassi" (and Italy and Siena) for the starting point, and wherever you are going for the ending point (e.g. Piazza il Campo where I think the Palio is run).
4. Lower down, click on "on foot" as an option, then hit Search

You will get a map that shows you the shortest route on foot.

You will see that this street (Via Vittorio Tassi) is on the other side of the stadium and Piazza della Liberta' from the city center, so you have to walk around them one way or the other.

Thanks a lot Bill.

I'm canceling my reservation via Tassi.
First because I'm arriving on Sunday, at the same hour of the football game and I don't feel safe to stay on the area accompagnied by mother, who is 65. Secondly, because I have asked very clearly for sth close to via Pendola, and now I discovered that someone just put me on the other side of the town.
Michelin says 10 min by car to go from Via Tassi to Via Pendola (where I'm supposed to go), which means much more by foot, and I did not mention Siena's ups and downs...
